Principal's Message
Hello East Primary Families,
As we finish up our third week of school we are finding our rhythm. The kids are enjoying their morning breakfasts in the cafeteria. Front doors open at 7:30 a.m. When your child plans to eat breakfast, please help them arrive at school by 7:45, this will allow them to eat breakfast without being rushed. Breakfast service ends at 7:55 and school starts at 8:00 a.m.
The afterschool dismissal is going much smoother, thanks for calling the office by 1:00 p.m. if there is a change to your child's afterschool plans. Also, thank you for placing your placard on the front dashboard, for using Umpqua Street to access the pickup line on 4th Street and for your patience. :) Our goal is to have all students dismissed no later than 2:30 p.m.
We love seeing your kiddos everyday, attendance is very important, we also want to ensure everyone stays healthy. Keep in mind these guidelines for when to stay home. Have your child stay home when they have these symptoms: cough, fever (temperature of 100.4°F or higher) or chills, diarrhea, vomiting, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing. If your child has an excessive cough, runny nose or sneezing they should also stay home.
It is wonderful to welcome you into the building. Remember to stop by the office to fill out a volunteer form and to complete a background check (fee $6.00) so you can be prepared for helping in your child's classroom, eating with your child at lunch or to help with field trips.
Looking forward to a great year of working together, contact me at 541.459.2912 or email Beckie.lupton@sutherlin.k12.or.us if you have questions, concerns or kudos. :)
Sincerely, Mrs. Lupton
