Hello Bobcat Families!
We made it to December - we are so grateful for all of the extra precautions everyone is taking when there is a little sniffle or other health symptom that seems out of the ordinary. Thank you for continuing to call the main office when your students are sick. You can always ask to speak to Nurse Nancy if you have any questions about you child's health.
We have recently noticed an increase in families arriving late to school and pulling in to the bus loop after 8:15am. While we know this is "convenient," your child has missed the start to their day and is missing precious learning time. Doors open at 8:00am and the bell rings at 8:15am. That means learning begins at 8:15am. Thank you to everyone who arrives on time every day! Keep it up!
IMPORTANT NEW DATE: Wednesday, December 9th is an EARLY RELEASE DAY. Dismissal is at 12:45pm. Lunch will be a grab and go for students to bring home or to afters.
- Afters OPEN: B&G Club, YWCA, Family First (Archibald TBD - Check email and dojo)
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions - we are always available!
