Yearbook Info:
Volunteers are needed to help with the 2020-21 Cooks Corners yearbook for the following classes: K-Porter, 1-Maddack, 1-Moore, 3-Gonzales, 4-Allison. If your child is in one of these classes, please consider helping out. Volunteers act as the liaison with the teacher and remote learner parents to collect pictures for the class and then put the pictures in a layout for the yearbook (done Jan/Feb 2021). No experience needed! I will teach you how to do it - it's like putting a photobook together. This volunteer work is all remote - whether your child is in-person or remote learning, you can help! Please email Jessica Warren at cookscornersyb@gmail.com if interested or you have any questions.

Nurse Notes
It is SO wonderful to be back at school but please remember to do your part to keep us all safe!
- Keep your child home if they are not feeling well and check temps daily
- Wash your hands with soap and water for a full 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer
- Distance 6 feet whenever possible
- Wear your mask when not at home
Smile! Even though your mouth is covered your eyes show your beautiful smiles:))
Car Line Procedures Reminder
All cars entering the car arrival or dismissal line should enter from the BULLSEYE LAKE ROAD entrance by turning RIGHT only. Once you have entered the drive, proceed to take your place in one of the double lines that will form down the driveway. Once you have pulled forward to where the double line merges into one line, please take turns pulling your car forward to the car loading zone. Your child will be sent to your car and must enter the car on the curb side only. Please do not get out of your car to help your child. We want to keep everyone safe at all times! Once your child is in the car you will proceed to Campbell Street where you will exit turning right only onto Campbell Street. See map below.
Thank you for your help!
Apples for the Students
Dear Parent,
Educational technology and funding changes daily. To keep up with these changes and expenses, our school is participating in our local Strack & Van Til Apples for the Students program. The Strack & Van Til Apples for the Students program enables our school to earn Apple Computers and iPads, sporting goods, audio visual equipment, science supplies, hundreds of other items to choose from, and they’re all FREE……… To earn these FREE awards we simply have to collect as many Strack & Van Til register receipts as possible from September 1st, 2020 through March 1st, 2021. Ask your friends and relatives to shop at Strack & Van Til and save every receipt. Send the receipts to school with your student as often as possible. Here at school we will count the value of the register tapes collected and redeem them for great items that benefit your child. Thank you in advance for your participation.
If anyone feels uncomfortable dropping off receipts at the school, they are more than welcome to drop them off in my mailbox or mail them to me. They can reach me at tmlawson77@yahoo.com
Thank you!
