Reminders:


End of Day Procedures: Car rider pick up in the afternoon- No car line forms until 2:30pm & the 2nd car line doesn't form until 2:45pm. 2:15pm is the cutoff time to honor a phone call to change transportation for the day. 2:30pm is the cutoff time to pick up students early. Please come before that time if your child has an appointment. Teachers are getting called to get student(s) packed up early and this is a stressful time of day as all rooms are getting ready for dismissal.

Apple Crunch: We are going to be hosting our Apple Crunch on Friday, Oct. 23rd. This is an afternoon event that our families can join us for the fun, if they would like to. (1:00pm-2:30pm) We will all crunch an apple at the same time, participate in different stations, and have a great time outside. More information will be coming out later but we wanted to let families know so you can "save the date" far enough in advance. 


Final Forms: some families have not completed their student's Final Forms, yet. In order for your child to attend a field trip this year, all forms need to be completed. Please sign in and double check yours are all done.  If you have any changes in your address or cell phone numbers throughout the school year, you need to edit them in FinalForms as well.

ACCIDENTS HAPPEN

Please consider keeping a bag with extra clothes in your student's backpack.  Especially if your child is picky about what they like to wear.
We Have a limited supply of clothing in our Nurse's Clinic so we don't always have the right size available.
We can always use donations of sizes 4-12 for boys & girls of New/Gently used elastic waistband sweatpants or leggings and new underwear.
IF your child happens to borrow clothes from the school, please wash and return them promptly.  Thank you!
