Orchard Families,

Welcome back from break! It was great to see the students back in class and engaged in classwork. We are relieved that the Covid levels are decreasing. We will continue to practice safe habits including with mask wearing and hand washing at school.

Book Fair

We're excited to invite you to our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair. Hosted by our staff, this event is an opportunity for students of all ages to build their home libraries and further their love of reading. As always, all purchases benefit our school. It will take place from March 1 - 4, 2022.

Uber Eats and Other Deliveries

We are asking parents to work with us around personal school deliveries. Unfortunately, we are unable for health, safety, and efficiency reasons to accept food and gift deliveries for students. No Uber Eats for students or like food deliveries will be accepted during the school day. Items that are dropped off by parents like balloons, flowers, etc., may be given to students at the end of the day if and when possible. Thank you so much for helping us decrease distraction and minimize the numbers of unfamiliar adults on site.

Spring pictures are tomorrow, March 1, 2022. All grade levels may take pictures; they should have their forms completed. The 8th grade class picture will also be taken.

Remind students to check lost and found; we have many coats, hats, and water bottles still on site.

Sincerely,

Marie Roberts, Principal
