Student Safety
Dear Slate Hill Families,
For the safety of your children during dismissal, you must stay in your cars and move up with the cars all the way to the end of the building. We ask that you follow the directions of the teachers on duty for your child's safe dismissal. If you are a parent that is walking to and from their home to pick up their child then you should meet your child on the playground near the U.S. map and you must be wearing a mask. In keeping with our social distancing policy, parents must stay away from the students being dismissed. No parents should walk through the parking lot to pick up their children.
Thank you for keeping our Slate Hill children safe,
Julie Gulley
Slate Hill Elementary Principal

Weekly Helpful Reminders
* Even though it's chilly out, students still go outside for recess as weather and playground conditions permit. Please send your student(s) to school with their coat, hat and gloves/mittens so they can stay warm while outdoors!
* Please remember to have your student(s) wear their mask to school and to bring an extra mask in their backpack.
* If you have a Chromebook from the school, these need to be plugged in every day! They need to be charging whenever not in use, as they do not work as well when they are allowed to 'die'. We appreciate your help with this!!
* There will be no school on Monday, February 15th in honor of President's Day.
