Star Student
Below is the picture of students I ate lunch with today!
Order now through September 18th!
Second Graders have "Adopted" a Class in Need!
(Step 1, 2 3, or 4) books, classroom decorations and educational games, etc. During the school day we'll be making our new friends cards, and will be able to Skype with them in the near future.
We'll have a big box in our hallway for any donations the kids would like to bring in. Thank you!
Arriving On Time Insures a Smooth Start for Students
Thank you for insuring your child is at school on time each day. Arriving on time allows your student to have a smooth start to their day. Students are welcome to arrive as early as7:15 (not before) each morning and can go to the cafeteria for supervision until the first bell rings at 7:30. The late bell rings at 7:40. Students arriving after 7:40 are considered late. After students are late five times, students will need to come in early to make-up seat time. Parents will receive a letter from Mrs. McEnery alerting them to this situation and will need to be at school at 7:20 on the designated day. Documentation of students being late will begin on Monday, September 11.
