Message from the SWAMP
What a great week! Our Gator Ski Club had their first trip to Rabbit Hill and had a blast!
Exams are now complete for Term 1 and report cards will be available on PowerSchool on Jan. 31.
Just a reminder: If your student needs to leave early (for an appointment, illness, etc.) the office MUST hear from a parent/guardian. Please email or call the office and we will allow the student to sign out & meet you outside (or walk home).
You still have time to sign up for the Gator Movie Day Out (Jan. 30), the portal will close Monday at 9am. Please note if you have signed up and not yet paid we require payment by Monday.

If a student will arrive late, they are to sign in at the office. If we have been informed the student will be late, that will be an excused late. Without hearing from a parent, the student would be marked as unexcused.
