CUDOS
I appreciate those of you who continue to park in the grass even though it's a supreme inconvenience. I know it's been muddy and it may continue to be this week as well, but when the opportunity is do-able, please try to continue as it totally makes a HUGE difference at drop off and dismissal!!! :-)
CUDOS to so many of you who have joined our CLE PTA!! They work very hard to raise funds for our school, both resources and programs, so our membership support is REALLY important!!! Last I heard, we were at about 50% membership.... I'd love for us to reach 100% again this year!!!
COMPLETIONS
Don't forget to sign up for your goals conference if you have not already done so! We will be beginning these conferences this week. I can't wait to visit with you!
It is VERY IMPORTANT to forward any messages, notes or emails regarding student absences to BOTH Rosie AND Mari. No excuse is insignificant... send them all! Let Mari decide if it's workable because you'd be surprised what can be accepted.
CAUTIONS
2:40 (no bell) PK, Kinder and 1st graders may BEGIN moving to their dismissal areas. Please wait to move them until 2:40--we've got the routines down now, so we are spending too much time sitting in the dismissal areas waiting for the rest to show up. Please don't leave your classroom collection areas until 2:40.
2:43 Bell for 2nd grade thru 5th grade WALKERS to move to the front sidewalk (find buddies). They WILL NOT start WALKING OFF CAMPUS until the 2:45 bell rings, but we have so many walkers that they are not out of the way of the cars the way we've been dismissing.
2:45 Bell for YMCA, Day Care and Bus Riders to go to the gym; bell for walkers to start walking. We WILL NOT start loading the PK, K and 1st graders into cars until they have rounded the corner of the parking lot.
2:47 Bell for front car pick-up students to come to the porch. PK Parent walk-up may start dismissing.
As soon as halls are clear of car pick-ups, move the parent walk-ups to the cafeteria and dismiss.
