From The Principal
Welcome back! We were so excited to welcome our scholars back today, we missed them! Teachers returned on Monday this week and have been working hard reviewing our winter assessment data and planning to insure all our scholars are improving their academic, behavior and social-emotional skills.
Just a reminder that our new car line dismissal will start next Tuesday, January 14th. I have attached the letter detailing the dismissal changes below. Please note that if you are using the car line next week you must have the cards with your child's name on it displayed on your dashboard, otherwise you will be asked to park and show ID in the office for them to be released to you. If you need new cards, please contact Nancy Lett in the office and she can get you new ones. If your child is riding home with another student after school, please send a note to your child's teacher or to the office and we will make sure they dismiss with the person they are riding with.
In addition, if you have your child go out the walker door please use the crosswalk and pick them up. Students will not be allowed to cross the crosswalk without a parent. We also ask that you do not cross in between the buses, only use the crosswalk for safety purposes.
As always it is an honor to serve as the principal of Sunflower Elementary!
