Call to Greatness
A few reminders...
- HELP...Students need at least one set of headphones to leave at school. Two sets (one set for each classroom) would be ideal. Students need headphones to watch instructional videos independently assigned in Schoology. Thank you in advance for your help with this matter.
- Students need a water bottle at school everyday. There are water filling stations available to use.
- There are two opportunities for students to have snack throughout the day. Some options are goldfish, crackers, fruit, or granola bars.
Transportation Changes
If you are unable to send a note in the morning, please email the office the request by 3:20, along with a copy of your driver's license.
Absences
- Please remember to contact the attendance secretary if your child will be absent. A note from home is required for an absence to be considered "excused."
- In the event your child misses three or more consecutive days, a doctor's note is required upon returning to school.
- Students can access skill practice in Schoology while they are at home if they are able. Any missed assignments will be made up upon their return.
