A Note From Mrs. Hertzenberg, Principal

Picture Day Reminder
Events Around the Community
Just Some Friendly Reminders from the Office
- The tardy bell rings at 8:00 am. Your child must be inside the building at 8:00 am. The doors close at that time. Should you arrive and doors are closed, please come in and sign your child in. Our building opens at 7:30 am.
- The latest a child can be checked out is 2:30 pm. If you send in a note giving the Teacher a heads up that you will be checking out your child at 2:30 pm, please be sure to arrive prior to 2:30 pm. The building starts preparing for dismissal at this time.
- The latest a transportation change can be made is 2:30 pm. Transportation changes must be made daily. Here is the link to the transportation newsletter sent out at the beginning of the school year.
- We will not call a student up to the front until a parent or authorized pick up person has come into the building and signed out that student. This is for your student's safety.
- Goodie bags cannot be handed out at school for birthdays or holidays.
- In the event of severe weather during dismissal, all students who regularly walk home will be dismissed according to the severe weather dismissal method provided in writing by the parent to the teacher. If parents have not chosen an alternate plan for their walker they can pick their child up in the front office after the car rider line is finished.
Note from the Nurse
Parents,
We would like to remind parents not to send any medication to school with your children, including cough drops. Also, any medication that will need to be administered at school must be brought to school and picked up by a parent or designated adult only. To administer prescription or non-prescription medication at school, the school must receive a written and dated request (medication request form obtained from the clinic) from the parent or legal guardian. The medication must be in the original container and properly labeled. Only the guidelines printed on the container will be followed unless a physician order is present. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the school nurse if you have any concerns or questions.

Lunch Visitors
We want to ensure the safety and security of everyone as they enjoy time together. Please be sure to sign up to have lunch with your child at least 24 hours in advance, as we have a limited amount of space for each grade level.

** Please understand that if you arrive more than 5 minutes after your student's scheduled lunchtime, there is a possibility you will not be able to eat with your child, due to the limited amount of time allotted for lunch.
Government Issued Identification for all Visitors
Please be sure to have your physical government issued ID ready when entering the campus through the front office. If you do not have this, we will not be able to let you into the building. This is also required for picking up your child.
Important Learning is Still Happening
Please be sure not to disrupt other classes while visiting the campus. While this is a fun time of year, we are still having instructional time in classes. We understand you may want to stop by and peek into a class of other children you have on campus, but this can be disruptive to the entire classroom.
Family Assistance
Yearbooks are on Sale!
Arrival and Dismissal
Car rider dismissal ends when the last car in line is scanned. Teachers that are on car rider duty will come in the building and any remaining students will be brought to the front office. Please come in to the office with your driver's license or Government issued ID to sign your child/children out.
We no longer have a crossing guard stationed at the crosswalk that crosses through the car rider line. Please walk your child or have your child walk/ride on the new crosswalk that crosses over the Bus drive.
