January 7, 2023
Dear Families,
Welcome to second semester! Last week was short with a teacher work day on Tuesday and a professional development day for teachers on Wednesday. We also had district-level strategic planning meetings on Wednesday. Thanks to our many community members who provide input for the strategic planning process. We welcomed students back on Thursday and spent our first two days focusing on re-teaching common area expectations and classroom expectations.
This next week, we will have late start on Thursday and the building will open at 9:00. As a reminder, please follow traffic patterns. If you can arrive for drop off between 8:15-8:30 traffic has mostly cleared out. The same goes for arriving for dismissal between 3:30 and 3:45.
Reminders:
Lost and Found items are available in our front office. Please stop by if you are missing any items!
Standards-Based Grading information can be found below. We have transitioned from letter grades to standards-based grading as a K-5 system.
Safety: We have implemented increased security measures. Visitors will not be allowed to enter the building during arrival or dismissal. All visitors will need to call ahead and use the door bell at the entrance.
Attendance- Please call us at 913-727-1128 in the event your student will not be at school, will be in to school late, or will need to leave early.
Traffic: Please remain in your vehicles during car-rider pick up. Thank you for following our traffic protocol.
Going Home: Please remember to call in any ride changes before 3 PM. The number to call is 913-727-1128.
Bus Transportation: must be pre-arranged by families. If your student rides the bus, you may want to use the Compass app (see info below). This provides parents and guardians about bus information in real-time.
Breakfast/Lunch: School meals are available for purchase this year. Information about free and/or reduced meals can be found here:
