Spring Break--March 5-13
Spring Break Read-a-Thon
Daylight Saving Time
Staying Active
Morning Drop-Off
Please be aware of the cars behind you when you drop off for band or Kid Ventures. Make sure to pull up so as not to block others. Parking spaces are readily available if you have to make a phone call after dropping off your child. Please be respectful of the other parents who also have places to go. Thank you for understanding!
Changes with Safety Protocols
- After Spring Break, students arriving before 8:20 will go to the playground in the morning. Students eating breakfast will still be able to do so beginning at 7:50, and then they will proceed to the playground. Please note that supervision on the playground will start at 7:55, and students not attending Kid Ventures should not arrive before that time.
- After Spring Break, parents/guardians will be allowed to join your child for lunch at one of the tables in the commons area. Please know that we don't have a lot of extra space due to our enrollment. Parents and guests will need to pay for a school lunch if planning to have a hot lunch. It is best to have money in your child's lunch account for this purpose; this will make the process smooth.
- Due to building security, parents and guests are not allowed to wait inside the building in the morning or afternoon. This includes not walking students to class; our kiddos are doing great with this.
