SCHOOL STARTS AUGUST 17th!!!
It's hard to believe but it is almost time for students to return to school. I hope all of our students have enjoyed their time away from school with family.
With the first day of school quickly approaching, I wanted to share some information to help you prepare.
You should have received an email notification to update Final Forms for this school year. Please go into Final Forms as soon as possible to make sure what we have the correct information on file, even if you feel that nothing has changed since last year. Please be sure that you check the transportation information and mark your child's usual plan for dismissal. Any day that your child will not be following their usual plan for dismissal, be sure to send a note to school explaining the change and the dates the changes are to occur. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL. You will need to include your address on the note if your child is riding a bus to a different location. Without your information updated in Final Forms or a note from you, we will assume your child is to go home the same way he/she came to school.
The first day of school is August 17th. Kindergarteners are the only students on a staggered start this year. Kindergarten girls will attend on August 17th. Kindergarten boys will attend on August 18th. Both kindergarten girls and boys will attend together beginning on August 19th.
Elementary school times this year are as follows:
8:10- breakfast (enter door # 8)
8:25- students not eating breakfast can enter door # 9 and go to straight to class
8:40- Tardy bell rings
Dismissal
3:20 Car riders- pickup begins
3:30- Walkers- released at door #8 (or when car traffic line is no longer passed door # 8).
3:25- Bus riders- Begin loading
If your child requires medication during the school day, we must have a completed form from the doctor prior to administering any medication at school. Students ARE NOT PERMITTED to bring medication to school. It MUST be delivered by a parent. The school nurse will be available during Open House if you have questions.
Once again, I appreciate your patience and flexibility with our morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal procedures
Enjoy your weekend!
Mrs. Keller
