Cold Weather Reminders
Please remind your child to wear a coat, hat and gloves when they head out to the bus stop in the morning. If you are dropping your child off at school, a reminder that our doors open at 7:45 a.m. We do not want students waiting outside in the cold if they are dropped off early.
Also, a reminder that we have MANY coats, hats and sweatshirts in our lost and found! If your child is missing something, please encourage him to check our lost and found located in Autumn 2nd floor. Parents are also welcome to come to the school to look for missing items.
