Notes from the Principal
This video may have popped up in your Facebook feed, too. Admittedly, it's a commercial for Nature Valley Granola Bars. And, it speaks a truth I hear frequently; our kids spend their time very differently than we did as kids.
More and more research tells us that social and physical play is critical to kid's development, physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. It's not just about childhood obesity--it's about the development of their abilities to work in groups, communicate, and create.
And it's also just about joy. Play and smiles bring mental health and well-being. What was your favorite thing to do as a kid?
Attendance Information
Did you know that state law says that children should not miss more than 10 days of school during a school year? As a school, we're required to monitor attendance and notify parents if they get close to or go past the limit.
This law is not on the books to penalize people who get the flu; it is to stress the importance of school attendance for academic success and growth.
Research
Celebrate!

Arrival & Dismissal Reminders
- Watch out for our crossing guards!
- Children SHOULD NOT be dropped off prior to 8:30 unattended. There is not staff to supervise students.
- Changes to a child's dismissal plan MUST be made prior to 2:30 pm so that messages can get to all the necessary parties. We work hard to make sure each child gets where they need to go. Please call the office, as teachers often don't check their emails during the afternoon.
- If you're a car pick up, don't block the intersection on Layton. It slows things down in the long run.

Cold Weather is Here!
If students do not have snow pants, snow boots, or snow mittens, they MUST stay on the blacktop by the building where it's cleared.
Please label coats, hats, and gloves with a sharpie on the tag, and if you're missing something, encourage your child to check the lost and found if something is missing.
If you need assistance getting a hat, coat, or snow gear for your child, please let Mrs. Boyd or Mrs. Michlig know.
Engaged!
