Principal's Message - Changing Weather Ahead
As we look forward to wet weather ahead, I want to share our rainy day dismissal procedures. If you have a TK or Kindergarten student, there will be no change in parent pick-up procedures. These students will still be waiting in room 2 at the end of the day.
Parent pick-up and bus line release for our first through fourth grade students will move to our multipurpose room. If you are a parent picking up one of these students, please come into the multipurpose room and wait for your child by the parent pick-up signs. It is also important that everyone wears a mask during this inside dismissal time. Our staff will work hard to quickly match students with their adult. Please be patient as we connect parents with their children.
Separate from dismissal, it is important that students have warmer clothing for these colder days. It helps that you label coats and sweatshirts with your child's name so that we can get these items back to the student if misplaced. If your child is missing any clothing items, encourage them to check the lost in found located under our school stage.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the storms to come.
