A few housekeeping notes ...
Walkers and car riders should arrive at school no earlier than 7:50 a.m. Our school day begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. and any student arriving after this time will be marked tardy for the day. If you are dropping off after 7:58 a.m., please walk your child into the building and sign them in. We will have adult supervision outside between 7:50 and 7:58.
Please remember how important good attendance is for your student’s academic well-being. If your child is going to be absent, please report this to the school office.
Keep in Touch!
I encourage you to visit ksd140.org throughout the school year for key events and information pertaining to our school and the District. As always, please don't hesitate to contact me if you need assistance. My door is always open.
Respectfully,
Mr. Dan Callaghan
