Weather-Perfect Field Day!
Thank you to Mrs. Wright for organizing a wonderful day - and for making sure the weather cooperated! We'd also like to thank our parents for their cooperation during the day.
Enjoy the wonderful weather this weekend!
Warm Weather Attire
- T-shirt-style shirts are the simplest choice. They cover all that needs to be covered.
- Please avoid shirts that expose the torso due to a mid-waist length, or large arm holes allowing the torso and/or undergarments to be seen.
- Sandal-style shoes are to have a firm sole and heel strap. No flip-flop styles.
- Sneakers are best. They protect the foot and allow for easy running and play.
- Water bottles for recess are permitted.
- Hats for recess are also permitted.
- Please apply sun-screen at home.
Free and Mostly Free Things to do this summer.
4th Grade Move-Up Ceremony
What should my child wear for the ceremony?
We ask for all 4th grade students to be neatly dressed for Move-Up Day. Please do not feel you need to purchase special clothing for this event. Boys are encouraged to wear a shirt with a collar, pants like khakis or dress pants, and dress shoes. Dress shorts for boys and girls are also appropriate. Necklines and hem lines should be conservative. Students will be seated in chairs on the stage. Please keep this in mind when choosing attire. Line of sight from the floor may present uncomfortable situations. Flip flops or similar casual footwear are not appropriate for this event. Students will be walking up steps and across the stage during the ceremony. If you have questions about an outfit, please feel free to call or email Mr. Kern.
Volunteer Clearances
PTO Board Member Maureen Krom is offering free Notary services for any Buck parent who may need to have volunteer forms notarized. You can contact Mrs. Krom at maureen_krom@comcast.net.
Be Allergy Aware!
Due to varied allergy and dietary needs, please contact your child's teacher before sending in food or other items intended to be distributed to students in a classroom (e.g. birthday celebrations, class parties). Students should not share food at any time during school - even with a close friend. A seemingly harmless food item may unexpectedly contain allergens, or interact with other medical conditions. Depending on the health needs within a classroom, teachers may choose to avoid food-oriented experiences altogether. Please consider non-food treats as an alternative. Speak directly with your child's teacher. Do not send in any items until the teacher has responded and confirmed the appropriateness of your request. Thanks!
