Important Reminders
Please wait until September 4th to come eat lunch with your child
We are all practicing and working hard to learn our lunch time routine and this will help us get them established. After Labor Day you are welcome to eat lunch with your child. Thank you for your patiences.
Please have your car tags ready and visible
When picking up please hold up your car tag so we call your child's name. For their safety we have them wait until we call their name to get up and come to you. If you need more car tags please see the office. If you forget yours just stop by the office with your drivers license and get a white slip.
Please call the office by 2:00 if you need to change how your child will get home.
Please leave labels on backpacks
Each child has a label on their backpack with their name and their teachers' name. Some may have bus tag labels as well. Please leave these on and please let us know if they need a new one. These tags help us keep your child safe and ensure they get where they need to go.
Please check with your child's teacher about snack needs and guidelines for the classroom
