Slate Hill Newsletter
It has been an AWESOME first week! 8/20/2021
2021-22 School Year
Dear Slate Hill Families,
Our RockSTAR team has really missed our Shining Star Students and are thrilled to have them all back at Slate Hill! We are so proud of how every student is quickly learning classroom routines, wearing a mask, making friends, and having fun at recess. Remember we are also asking parents to wear masks while at Slate Hill when entering or volunteering in the building.
Don't forget to update your child's Emergency Data review in the Parent Portal so that we have your email to send Newsletters and other important district information.
It was great to see so many families at our Meet the Teacher night on August 16th. We appreciate your support and partnership with your child's education. We hope to see many of you at our first PTA meeting on September 16th at 7pm.
Please reach out if there is anything I can help you with or if you have any questions or concerns.

Important Reminder Regarding Food Allergies
A friendly reminder that there may be some students in your child’s school who have peanut and/or tree nut allergies. As the safety of our children is paramount to all, we need your support to make our cafeteria “nut free”. A child with a nut allergy can suffer a serious reaction merely by touching a food containing a peanut or tree nut. Therefore, we ask that you adhere to the following safety guidelines:
Please do not send in any peanuts, peanut butter or foods containing peanuts or peanut butter to be eaten during lunch.
Read ingredient labels carefully to ensure that the snacks sent in with your child are peanut and tree nut-free.
Please do not hesitate to contact Melissa Keathley with any questions or concerns about food allergies. She can be reached at 614-450-5000 or mkeathley@wscloud.org.
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders!
Any change of transportation needs to be communicated to the office and the classroom teacher by 2:15pm.
- Students may enter the building beginning at 8am.
- Breakfast is available for all students when they enter the building.
- The tardy bell rings at 8:15am so all students are to be in their classroom at 8:15am.
Dismissal:
- Students are dismissed from their classrooms at 2:45pm.
- Car Riders and Bus Riders will be dismissed first.
- Car Rider families- please put your child's first name in the passenger side window to help our dismissal move quickly.
