Family Handbook Friendly Reminders
BIRTHDAYS
Due to the large number of food allergies that students may experience, we are unable to allow birthday treats at any time during the school day. Thank you in advance for understanding. Also, in order to prevent a loss of instructional time and hurt feelings, students may not distribute treat bags or invitations for private parties at school. These should be mailed/delivered from home. Our PTA uses JoinOurClass as the platform for a Student Directory that is available. Please visit: https://myersvillepta.wixsite.com/myes/member-login to access. We will announce individual birthdays each day on morning announcements. Children will also receive a special birthday surprise provided by the staff.

Arrival- Students can begin to arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 am. For the safety of our students, students cannot be permitted in the building prior to 8:30 am. Instruction begins promptly at 9:00 am.
Walkers are asked to enter the building at the Kindergarten doors. Car riders should be dropped off in the back lot in the car rider loop between 8:30-9:00 am. Please remain in a single file line.
Dismissal- Walkers and car riders will be dismissed at 3:30 pm. Walkers exit from the main entrance while car riders are dismissed in the back of the school. Students will wait inside the school in the gym. Please remain in your vehicle while waiting in the car rider loop.
Car rider pick up will be in two waves in order to minimize traffic on Main Street. Please do not block the crosswalk on Main Street if you are waiting. If you have multiple children at MYES, please arrive at 3:30. If you have only one child, please arrive at 3:40. Your adherence to these times will greatly support our school dismissal- thank you in advance.
