IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NEXT WEEK'S PIE SALE PICK UP
If you ordered pies, don’t forget that pie pick up is next Tuesday (November 20th) afternoon/evening from 3:00-8:00 PM at the school sale building (located at the southwest corner of the playground).
Parents picking up elementary students after school Tuesday, November 20th should pull in front of the elementary entrance, NOT the playground area. This will help ensure the safety of our students, since the playground area will be busy with pie pick up.
ALL students riding home on the bus will board at the high school (main) entrance.
THANKSGIVING VACATION
Thanksgiving break will begin with a 1:00 dismissal next Wednesday, November 21st. Buses will leave Shalom shortly after 1:00 PM. Classes will resume Tuesday, November 27th.
The school offices will be closed Thursday and Friday, November 22nd and 23rd, and open Monday, November 26th, from 9-3.
