From the principal
In a few weeks, we will be able to return to our schoolwide holiday sing, parents are invited to this in the gym. We will open Door number 5 which is the east door by the bike racks and goes directly in the gym at 1:15. Parents will sit in the bleachers to view the performance. This year Ms. Molidor is putting the program together, we look forward to welcoming parents and family members to our school. After the program, the audience will exit the same door. If you are a room parent and are participating in the class party you will then enter the front door.
Room parents, please make sure you have all of the forms and bring your license in with you or prior to the day. As you enter the main entrance, Ms. York will give you your identification sticker. In addition, plans for the party activities should be shared with your classroom teacher by the end of next week. Please refer to the guidelines shared from Ms. Staat.
