Minimizing Classroom Interruptions!
In order to minimize classroom interruptions, we have implemented procedures with forgotten items. We are receiving a large amount of deliveries for lunches, instruments, water bottles, library books, clothing and backpacks. Please encourage your students to be prepared and check for their belongings before leaving your house. We appreciate your support!
Please note that lunches for grades 1-5 that are delivered to the school will be placed on the table outside of the cafeteria. Students should collect them from the table. They will not be delivered to the classroom.
Forgotten Instruments will be kept in the front office. Students can come to the front to see if their parent has dropped it off.
If you need to get a message to your student during the day, please contact the teacher directly.
