Walk-a-thon reminder
Materials came home Monday with your child to explain our fall fundraiser. The 2019 Walk-a-thon will take place September 11th and 12th during your child’s scheduled P.E. time. This weekend would be a great time to get a jump start on asking family and friends to support your child’s walk. Enclosed with the materials was an envelope that your child can begin collecting pledges. Please contact PTO with any questions you have fargolongfellowpto@gmail.com or to volunteer to help with the event.

ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL INFORMATION
Students can't be here any earlier than 7:45 am because we don't have supervision. If students arrive before 8:20 am kindergarten students will go to the library. 1st through 5th grade students will go to the gym where we have games and Legos for them. Students are not allowed to use electronic devices once they arrive at school. They can call/text home once they get here to let you know they have arrived but then we ask that they be turned off. After this point if we see them out we will take them for the day.
Each morning a different grade level will go outside for recess. Monday 2nd grade gets to go out, Tuesday: 1st, Wednesday: 5th, Thursday: 4th, Friday: 3rd. Once kindergarten students get used to their morning routine our supervisor will take them out once a week. 1st through 4th grade students should go to the gym first and our supervisors will take them out. Morning recess will run from 7:50-8:20 am.

If your child arrives at school after the bell rings at 8:30AM, they will need to stop at the office to get a tardy slip before going to the classroom.
