All students will continue to wear their regular face mask - no Halloween masks are permitted. Please be sure to choose an appropriate costume for your child if they choose to wear one.
Reporting Absences & Changes to Dismissal Plans
If your child is going to be absent from school for any reason, please call the main office to report this absence. The main office will notify the teachers of the absence and the reason. If your child's dismissal plan changes during the day, please call the main office. The main office will notify the teachers of the dismissal change. Our teachers are teaching during the day - they are very busy!
Breakfast and Lunch - Free For All!
PLEASE NOTE FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH FORMS WENT HOME IN FRIDAY FOLDERS ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3RD. Please fill these out and return them to the main office. Breakfast and lunch will continue to be free for all students, but we do need these forms filled out in order to maintain this status.
Quarantine
There might be a situation where your child is asked to quarantine - please be sure to charge their iPad every night, and ask them to see their Google Classroom on their iPad, so you can start to familiarize yourself with our online teaching platform.
