Principal's Message
Dear SFX Family,
I am asking for your help with dismissal, especially early dismissal days. Please inform grandparents, babysitters, etc. of the procedures for pick up so that dismissal can run smoothly. Thank you!
- No parking and walking up; Approved Walkers and Bike Riders only
- Siblings & Carpools are dismissed from the school yard.
- The only entrance to the Betz car line is by turning right onto Betz from Avenue B or coming down Betz from the east. Please do not cut the line by turning left onto Betz from Avenue B.
- PLEASE use the provide white name sign and hang it from the rear view mirror. It is extremely difficult to see signs on the dashboard and hand-made signs.
- Be respectful of our neighbors, passing traffic, and surrounding businesses.
Just a reminder that Parent Teacher Conferences are this Friday, November 13 with no school for students. If you have not signed up for your conference time, please do so as soon as possible. Reach out to your child's teacher if you need assistance.
This week's newsletter is full of information. Please take some time to read through it.
May God bless you and keep you,
Jessica

REMINDERS
- If anyone in your immediate family tests positive, please notify Ms. Dwyer immediately. You can call the school, 833-1471, or email if after hours.
- Students should be kept home if they have any symptoms and their doctor should be consulted. Please do not assume it is allergies or a cold or send them to school after giving medication.
- Hang your name sign from your rear view mirror for the entirety of carpool so that all staff can see the name. Hint: A pants hanger works great!
- Siblings & Carpools are dismissed from the yard. Single Riders are dismissed from Betz Pl. Please go to your usual location even if a sibling is sick or out of school. The students are used to going to their designated side.
