Principal's Note
Welcome Back to a GREAT school year! I am so excited to be back at school and spend my days with some of the most awesome people I've ever met! The staff and I thank you for sharing your precious Mohawks with us. We take very seriously the charge you've given us...to partner with you in your child's education. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's teacher. You may also reach me at school. My contact information can be found in our contact information at the bottom of this newsletter.
Our monthly school newsletter will always contain important information. Please take the time to review. There are live links throughout so make sure you click on them for further information. This first newsletter of the year will contain extra reminders of school policy and procedures.
It's a Great Day to be a Mohawk!

Drop Off and Pick Up Reminder
*If you will be exiting your car and entering the building, please park in one of the parking spots. If one is not available, pull up past the awning and park on the curb.
*Please drive slowly when entering and exiting the parking lot.
*Take a look at the picture below. It is VERY important you stop, especially during morning drop off. Buses are entering at the same time so it makes it difficult for Mrs. Despain to see all that is happening and keep everyone safe.
*During afternoon pick-up, please wait until the special education bus exits the parking lot before pulling forward to wait on student dismissal. Staff members will assist with loading students and directing traffic.
*If you park and come in the school at dismissal, please wait until all cars have loaded and exited before returning to your car. We want to eliminate people walking between cars that are in line and waiting for students.
Thank you for helping us keep all Mohawks safe!
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
>If there is a change in your child's afternoon transportation, you must call the school office and let us know. The office will generate a change in transportation form, "red note". The "red note" signals to the bus drivers and dismissal crew there is a change. If we don't receive that call, students will be sent home their "normal" way.
>Attendance is VERY important. Please review the student handbook for details of our attendance policy. Students are only allowed 10 excused absences. I've attached a copy of the student handbook for your reference.
