Celebrations
Students are participating in learning activities that are fun and teach new skills at the same time! Please see the pictures at the bottom of the Mott News as evidence!
Important Dismissal Change
Beginning Monday, August 27, cars leaving the front parking lot will not be allowed to turn right on the driveway that runs beside the playground and goes toward Cele Middle School until buses have been released. We will have a staff member stationed at that exit to help direct traffic, and to indicate when cars may resume using that driveway.
Absences
Family Trips and Vacations
District Policies You Might Not Be Aware Of
Birthday Invitations: We can distribute birthday invitations only if there is one provided for every student in the class.
Birthday Treats: We are happy to honor and celebrate your child’s birthday with individual treats such as cupcakes, cookies, fruit cups, pudding cups, etc. Drink boxes, party favors, balloons, flowers, etc. will not be allowed in the classroom.
Dogs: Dogs are not allowed on school campuses unless they are service dogs or K-9 police dogs.
Lunch Visits: Coming to eat lunch with your child is a fun treat for both of you. There is a designated area outside the cafeteria for parents to eat with their child. Due to potential allergies, your child may not ‘bring a friend’ to the parent lunch area, nor can you share food with a student that is not your child.Very Important Information
