PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
Our wet spring weather is HERE in full force. We are making decisions daily about where the kids can play based on how the playgrounds and fields look. Students are not allowed to play on snow hills any more so snow pants are not needed. The temperature is such that hats and mittens are also not needed. Boots are still necessary to go into the fields and onto play equipment. Rainboots are acceptable for this.
As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns you have regarding your child.
Mrs. Michalski
Summer School 2018
Remember classes are listed with grades for the CURRENT year, so look for classes which your child is in now.
Online registration is NOW OPEN in family access.
Paying for summer classes will be online this year like paying for a food balance or an activity fee. Once you register for classes in Skyward, you will be able to print your bill from eFunds so you know what to pay. You will also be able to go right into the payment section to pay your bill.
Be sure to also fill out forms for Busing and KidsStation. Advanced registration needs to occur for both of these areas for us to plan for proper staffing each week.
Classes have numbers associated with them to indicate the building location. See the chart below so you are sure where the class is located.
