A Note From Nurse Lauren
Thank you!
Magazine Donations for Art
Hello Rattler Families! Art is accepting magazine donations to be used in collage/photomontage projects. There will be a box labeled “Art Room Donations” outside of room 016 (Fuson’s room) to collect donations - we ask that you donate school appropriate magazines that have anything with animals, people, objects, and interesting patterns.
Don’t have any magazines to donate? We are also needing ribbons, yarn, and fabric for some upcoming projects!
The box will remain outside room 016 for two weeks after this message, but we will continue to take donations for the remainder of the year. Thank you in advance!!
-Ms. Fuson & Ms. Wolfe
Thinking With The End In Mind!
A Message From Ms. Brown
Attendance Policy - Please note, state law requires a student enrolled in school (including prekindergarten and kindergarten) are required to attend school and are subject to the compulsory attendance requirements as long as they remain enrolled. There are few exemptions to the compulsory attendance requirements and these exemptions require acceptable documentation.
All student absences should be reported in SMART Tag indicating the reason for the absence. Acceptable documentation must be provided to the campus within 3 days after the student returns to school. Phone calls cannot be accepted as appropriate documentation for any absence. Failure to present acceptable documentation of an absence will result in the absence being counted as unexcused.
Early Pick Up
If you are picking a child up early, you must pick them up before 2:30pm.
Thank you!
