Pick-Up and Drop-Off Procedures by Faith Magruder
It’s Faith here with a serious topic.
Parents have been sneaking kids between cars at pick-up time. Please remember that we need to use the crosswalk. Also nobody should be parking in the pick up lane. The lane that is the closest to the school is for pick up and drop off only. If you park your car and then get out, the other cars can not pass you. If you need to get out of your car you need to pull into a space. In the morning and afternoon remember to wait until you’re at the cones before your kids can get out. It would be scary if someone ran over kids.
Cones where you can drop off and pick up
One of the 4 crosswalks that has a crossing guard
Lane closest to the cones is a no parking zone

Kindness Spotlight
Jayden Fenno - Mrs. Martin nominated him because while in library, Jayden quietly moved to another seat when 2 students wanted to sit in the last remaining chair at one of the tables.
Addy Huelskamp - Addy was also nominated by Mrs. Martin because she pushed in all of the chairs at her table when everyone else left to line up.
Thank you Jayden and Addy for the kindness you showed to Mrs. Martin and your classmates. We are proud to have such thoughtful Greyhounds at Ewalt.
Picture Day by Chloe Cotton
Wednesday, Oct 10,2018 is picture day. We want your students to look the best they can. Pictures will be taken starting at 8:00am in the gym. If you want to purchase pictures you need to turn in your order form to the classroom teacher by that day or order them online. If your student was absent that day then on Wednesday, Nov. 14th they can have their picture taken on picture retake day. If you do not like the picture that they come home with then you can have it retaken on that day too.

Halloween Parade by Faith Magruder
Greyhounds, Halloween is coming up! Make sure your costume is school appropriate. If you are not sure, bring your costume to school and ask your teacher. Get excited, with Halloween comes the Halloween parade! We will parade around the school and outside starting at 8:10 if the weather is nice enough. Remember Greyhounds, no masks that cover your face, or solid face makeup because you will have to take it off after the parade and we want to see who you are. Have a happy HOWL-oween s-s-scary Greyhounds!
