Transportation Changes
Just a reminder that if you would like to change your child's transportation, please send a note in their yellow folder that morning.
If you are unable to send a note in the morning, please email the office the request by 3:20, along with a copy of your driver's license.
Reminders
- HELP...Students need at least one set of headphones to leave at school. Two sets (one set for each classroom) would be ideal.
- Students need a water bottle at school everyday. There are water filling stations available to use.
- There are two opportunities for students to have snack throughout the day. Some options are goldfish, crackers, fruit, or granola bars.
Call to Greatness
Birthday Treats
Please remember when sending other treats for birthdays, items need to be prepackaged. Please notify your child's teacher about treats. :)
Absences
- Please remember to contact the attendance secretary if your child will be absent. A note from home is required for an absence to be considered "excused."
- In the event your child misses three or more consecutive days, a doctor's note is required upon returning to school.
- Students can access skill practice in Schoology while they are at home if they are able. Any missed assignments will be made up upon their return.
