REMINDERS
Recognize a Coach
Is there a coach who has made a difference in your child's life? Please consider taking time to recognize them by nominating them for the district staff member of the month. Parents, learners, and colleagues can nominate coaches for this recognition.
REMINDERS
- Please remind your learner to check out the lost and found and claim any items that belong to them. We have lots of new items!
- Yearbook order forms will be sent home with your learner on Monday. You can turn in the form and money to the office.
- There are many opportunities for learners posted on the PTO Facebook Page and on the school story of Class Dojo. Please view these regularly if you are interested in learning more.
- We are required by the state to have a certain number of fire, tornado, and intruder (lockdown) drills. Since we only practiced an intruder drill once this year, we will be holding one in March, April, and May. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for your continued support!
