Important Reminders
- Cell Phone Policy Students who bring cell phones to school, must turn them off and leave them in their back pack. If cell phones are found in use at school, students will receive a warning the first time. If a student has a cell phone out again, it will be confiscated by the adult and held in the office until the parent can pick it up.
- Getting the newsletter online! We'd like to continue sending out the Week at a Glance, but will begin doing so ONLINE ONLY. Please be sure the office has your email address for us to add to the list! We currently have correct emails for about 80 families.
- Volunteering in Classrooms We cannot do this without you - our families! If you are interested in volunteering in your student's classroom, please check in with the teacher We'd love to have you!
Morning Yard Support We are in need of parent volunteers to support with morning recess from 8:15a-8:30a. Please check in with Ms. Beckner or with Coach Colbert if you are interested.

A bit about Ms. Beckner...
I feel so excited and honored to have the opportunity to lead as a member of the Grass Valley staff!
