Yearbooks
Yearbooks are currently being printed and have not been delivered to our schools at this time. As soon as they are delivered we will let families know. Families will be able to make an appointment to pick up yearbooks or they can wait until Open House at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year.

Important Dates
May 21 - Last Day of School
Transportation
School dismisses daily at 3:30 with the exception of Fridays. Fridays we dismiss at 2:30. If your child will be going home a way other than their normal routine please send a note or call the office first thing. This ensures that I can get your child home safely! While I do try to check my voicemail and email throughout the day this isn't the best way to reach me for transportation changes. If you email or call too late in the day I may not see it until it's too late. The safest bet is for a note to be sent in the morning or for you to call our office (732-3610).

PTO - Box Tops
Schofield Elementary PTO collects box tops. If you send the box tops to school, the PTO will do the rest. Each box top is worth $0.10. They add up quickly and all money collected goes directly to Schofield. Be on the lookout because they appear on all kinds of products. Thank you in advance for your help.
