A message from the Principal
Dear Morris Bye Families:
The start of the school year has gone extremely well! Our students have completed all baseline assessments for this year and have been learning the routines and structures of being back at school.
Our arrival and dismissal area at the parent pick-up and drop-off lane has large yellow signs posted on the light posts of what to do in the parent drive up lane. We need parents to stay in their cars and pick up students at the end of the day closer to the cross walk area to get all cars through in a timely manner. When students walk down to the end of the sidewalk cars are delaying entry. Please move-up and pick-up your child/children closer to the middle of the lane. This will help our traffic flow, and we will not have a traffic jam if we can have all parents stay in their vehicle as well as move up to where the children are waiting for pick-up.
We are looking forward to October and all that fall has to offer our community. Please start sending a jacket with your child for the cool fall days. Also, we will have fall MBE Classroom Celebrations on Friday, October 27. Our MBE Parent Group will be sponsoring a Costume Dance on October 27th in the evening for our MBE Families from 7-8:30PM. Students do not wear costumes at school, rather at the evening dance. Please look for more detailed information in this newsletter and your child's MBE Wednesday Folder.
October will also bring about Fire Prevention Month. Our students will be able to engage in their first program of the year with our local CR Fire Department and discuss ways to be safe at home. Students will also have the opportunity to design a Fire Prevention Poster at home for the annual CR Fire Department Poster Competition for students in the CR Community. Please look for more information coming home in students MBE Wednesday Folders in October.
Thank you for being supportive and helpful with being proactive at home in order for our students to be successful at school!
Sincerely,
Ms. Wahlin, Principal
