Healthy Futures: September is winding down and those exercise calendars are due on Wed, Oct 4!! October calendars will go home with students this week!!

Students need to participate in 60 minutes of heart pumping activity, at least 15 times during the month!! If you need ideas on activities to do, go to www.playeveryday.alaska.gov . They are also counting recess time (30 minutes) and PE class (45 minutes) as part of the 60 minutes of activity, so make sure to write those down!

Once their log for each month is completed, turn it in to Mrs. Bishop, and the Healthy Futures program sends them a prize! Parents, you are encouraged to get healthy and active with your kids as well!!

PE Shoes: Please make sure your child has shoes that can secure on their feet with laces or Velcro. Slip on shoes are not safe for students to wear in the gym. As it gets colder, more students are wearing boots to school and do not have their own tennis shoes. The more they have to borrow, their “Behaviors that support learning” grade gets lowered as they are not prepared for class. Please ask your student what days they have PE so they can be prepared!

Upcoming “Active”-ities in the area:

• HAPPY RUN!!! Every Monday night at 6pm, the Active Soles shoe store in Palmer hosts a FREE fun run! If it is your first time, you need to sign a waiver for your family. After that, you can check in online and go! There is a different course each week to walk/run/bike. It always begins at Active Soles (Koslosky Building) and ends at the Palmer Ale House. (Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult). At 7 pm there are raffle prizes for finishers. This is a great way to get active as a family, and, it’s free! Check out the Active Soles page on Facebook for more information.

Here are the times for everything along with some rules.

2:50 is the cut off to enter end of day dismissals in SDM. (This had to be changed for the blue button to work on time)

3:00 is the cut off to pick up your student early.

3:35 the blue checkout button will appear in your SDM app and you may press it once you get to the check out area in our parking lot. You may also press the button as you’re walking up to the flag pole.

3:40 is when students will begin exiting the building to head to your car and flag pole.

Some rules with fast lane-

Please DO NOT CHECK IN until you are at the check in sign in our parking lot. Checking in early will cause more kids to be in the halls and take longer for us to get them out to you. Checking in at the sign will give your child plenty of time to get out to you!

You must have the app to use the car line. If you do not want the app you can park in the lot and walk to the flag pole for assistance.

Check your child’s default ASAP! If it’s not correct or is unassigned please call Katie to change it. If the bus is the default, but you are picking up, you must enter an exception before 2:50 so fast lane knows and your button will work. This is a must!

Teachers will make your child go home the way it is in the system every day!

Thank you again and happy 2nd day of school!!!!
