Breakfast and Lunch
We ask that if your child is a car rider and will be eating breakfast, that you get them here as early as possible. If they arrive at 8:00, they miss valuable instruction time finishing their breakfast.
Please remind both your car riders and your bus riders that they need to go eat breakfast FIRST before going to the track (3-4th) the gym (1st-2nd) or the hallway (K).
Due to Covid Restrictions, at this time, Visitors are still not allowed on campus. If you'd like to eat lunch with your child, you will need to check them out and check them back in afterwards.
No Cell Phones
No Right Turns
Yellow Sign or ID
Water Bottles
After recess and PE, these kids really need some water!!!
Please only send water in students' water bottles.
Birthday Treat Days
September 24th
October 29th
November 19th
December 17th
If you would like to bring treats for your child's birthday month, please bring them ONLY on the day of the month designated as birthday treat day. We are not allowed to pass out treats on other days.
All food items must be store bought and individually wrapped. Please check with your child's teacher about any allergy information.
Chromebooks
All returning students should have their chromebooks and chargers from last year. These devices need to be charged each night and sent to school each day. If you moved from within Cabot School District, you keep the device from originally issued to you.
New Students and Kindergarten students:
We have been working frantically to get you chromebooks checked out to all new students. This device is checked out to the student and travels with them from grade to grade and school to school. We recommend that you purchase a carrying case for the chromebook to help protect while it is in the backpack.
First grade students:
All first grade students will be receiving new devices. They need to return both their old device and charger to the their teacher to receive their new chromebook.
Here are some facts to help you with using the Parent GoGuardian app:
GoGuardian Parent App
1: How do I download the Parent App?
A: Simply search for “Goguardian Parent App” on the Apple Store or Google Play Store. Make sure the author of the app is GoGuardian.
2: Will I need any specific information about my student (login info, Clever badge, etc) to view the activity of my student in the Parent App?
A: No. You are linked to your student based on eSchool information and will only need your registered email address from eSchool. Once you have downloaded the application and verified your email address you should have access to each of your students.
3: What if GoGuardian does not recognize my email address or once I gain access to the Parent App I cannot see all my students?
A: Contact your students’ school registrar. They can adjust the information in eSchool to allow access.
4: Does the teacher have to use GoGuardian Teacher for me to be able to see the activity of my student?
For more information please see our GoGuardian FAQ for Parents.
