Transportation Changes
PLEASE make sure to call in any transportation changes before 1 pm. The end of the day is VERY hectic at an elementary school and it is important that we are aware of any changes before then. We also encourage you to send in a note on the day of a transportation change as well.
MEDICATION AUTHORIZATION FORM
Families: A medication authorization form must be filled out annually if your student requires medications to be distributed at school. Contact Ms. Snider in the office at 989-463-3113 if you are in need of a form.
BIRTHDAY TREATS
Birthday celebrations are very special and exciting for students. Our district policy is for healthy snacks in school. We encourage healthy snacks or an alternative, such as pencils or erasers, for each student.
