Happy Sunday Pirate Families!
A few reminders...
* Don't forgot that you can also nominate a teacher for our Teacher of the Month by clicking on the link on our school's website or completing a paper nomination in the main office.
* Due to a growth in student population, we no longer have room in our cafeteria to accommodate lunch guests. If you come to eat lunch with your student, you will have to eat outside in the courtyard. Please check the weather before making lunch plans.
* The OCS policy states that students must be fever free without medication as well as no vomiting and/or diarrhea for 24 hours before returning to school. Tis' the season, so please remind your child to wash hands frequently, cover their coughs, and keep hands out of their mouth. We will be reminding them here at school as well and hopefully we can get through cold/flu season with minimal sickness.
* Our no check out zone is from 2:55-3:15 and we do not accept changes in transportation over the phone.This is for your child's safety. Please send in a note and a follow up email to your child's teacher is helpful as well. Just as students don't always give you paperwork from the school, they also sometimes forget to turn in notes from home.
