Tonya Middling - Principal
Kristin Hillius - Assistant Principal
Dear Parents and Families,
We are so extremely happy to have all grade levels now back in school! Here are some important details to know:
- Grades 3, 4, 5 will attend in person two days a week, and remotely two days.
- Wednesday continues to be asynchronous.
- Cohort A attends Monday/Thursday.
- Cohort B attends Tuesday/Friday.
- Students can be dropped off at 9:20 or ride the bus.
- Students leave school at 3:05.
- Breakfast (*Starting Monday, March 1st) and Lunch is served for all students in-person; for 3rd-5th, they will pick up a breakfast to go home for the next day.
- Parents MUST complete the health check email by 8:30 each day, and for each student. Students who do not have a completed health attestation will not be allowed in class until a health screening has been completed and parents have been called.
For those staying online, our remote learning times changed to Cohort A 9:15-11:45 and Cohort B 12:25-2:55. Our remote teachers are Mrs. Rooney (1st gr), Mrs. Dyer (3rd Grade), Mrs. Brastad (4th Grade), and Ms. Templin (5th Grade). Some of our Kinder and 2nd grade remote students have been re-assigned to teachers from another Franklin Pierce elementary school, but once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!
I'm so proud of our students and families. Thank you for your commitment to your students' learning!
It's great to be a Wildcat!
~Mrs. Middling
