Charleston Wrap Fundraiser!
Thank you to everyone for their support with our Charleston Wrap Fundraiser. Keep up the hard work
And remember to have your kids turn in their Daily Drawing Coupons to redeem their Roller Botz each day. The coupons are located on the bottom of the prize poster and should be sent in when the thresholds are met through the combination of online and offline orders
These coupons will also be used to award the GIANT plush GOOGLY at the end of the fundraiser! We will do our best to make sure all kids are correctly awarded at the end of the fundraiser but would love to continue to incentivize them as we go into our final days to participate
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to sarahgdavis@mickeytravels.com if you have any questions or if you have misplaced your coupons.
Parent Reminders
Volunteering
In order to be considered for a volunteer position with the Charleston County School District, please access and complete the Volunteer Application.
Completing the volunteer application will allow us to preprint your badge for large schoolwide events
Approved applications are good for three years.
Attendance
Students must be signed in/out by a parent or guardian if arriving late or leaving early.
If your child is absent, excuse notes must be physically turned in to Mrs. Sue in the office within three days of the child’s return.
Emails or text messages are not acceptable for student excuse notes.
Bus
First Student Bus Services - 843-523-3909
To find your bus number and stop location, visit the CCSD transportation page and select the bus stop look-up tool after July 21.
Plan to be at your bus stop at least 15 minutes early.
If you are not at the stop to pick up your 4 - 6-year-old they will be returned to school.
Sign up for delay notifications through the First View app. Our school code is CUXU
Delays and changes are likely during the first couple of weeks of school.
Use this link to submit a complaint/feedback to the bus company and CCSD transportation office.
Early Dismissal
Students should present a handwritten note signed by a parent/guardian to the front office at the beginning of the school day. They will then be given an Early Dismissal Pass to report to the front office at the appropriate time. Phone calls will NOT be accepted.
No student will be released to an individual not listed as “authorized” on his/her Emergency Contact Card without verification from the parent/guardian in writing.
All Early Dismissals must occur before 2:00 pm. Students will not be excused from the classroom past this time due to the upcoming regular dismissal procedures.
Items dropped off at school
If a parent/guardian drops an item off at the front desk, Mrs. Sue will email the teacher to send the student to pick up the item.
Due to staff and time constraints, we cannot guarantee the delivery of items.
Outside food items (Chick-fil-A, Jersey Mike’s, etc.) are not permitted to be dropped off to students for lunch.
