Knights in the Know
August 13, 2021
What a Great Week!
Students in every class are creating respect agreements with their classmates and teacher. Conversations that lead to the respect agreements include how students want to be treated by their peers and teacher, how the teacher would like to be treated by students, and how we respect our school. Please ask your child about the agreement they reached with their class.
Each week the Knights in the Know newsletter will go home via email. If you miss an issue, we also post them on our school website (For Parents Tab) and we attach a link on our Facebook page. We are hoping that you will celebrate with us the wonderful things that are happening on campus.
We have a Parent Handbook page that should be able to answer a lot of questions about Blanton. The handbook includes our dress code, information about birthday snacks, class parties, and much more. Please take a moment to review the handbook.
We look forward to a great year!
Attendance Matters
When your child is absent, or leaves early for an appointment, you will receive an email and a voicemail letting you know your child is not present. In the email you receive, there will be a link that will allow you to verify your child's absence. It asks you to provide a reason for the absent, as well as upload any needed documentation for that absence (such as a doctor's note). In addition, there is a link on our home page that you are also able to use to supply the same information.
We truly appreciate your partnership.

Dismissal
Please also be considerate of our neighbors in Madison. When cars are parked there it makes it more difficult to see our students. Please be extra cautious and aware of the areas that have no parking signs.
