Please utilize the drop off lane if you do not want to park and walk your students into the school. The parking lot is not a safe place to allow students to walk without an adult. The fire lane in the parking lot is not a drop off zone. Please do not drop your students off there. We had a few incidences with students almost getting hit by cars backing up and not seeing our students. Your student's safety is our #1 priority!
Winter Gear
If you need help with acquiring winter gear for your student please let us know.

Do you Shop or Eat at...
Red Robin? You can register for their rewards program and then go online and register your card with Machetanz. Each time you eat there we will receive a small portion of your sales as well.
Fred Meyer? Do you have a Fred Meyer Card? You can also register it and a portion of your spending can benefit Machetanz. After the June 2016 customer re-enrollment period customers who did not re-link their card with a nonprofit on Community Rewards were dropped from the system on July 1. If you have linked your card in the past to support Machetanz it may not be currently linked. Please take the time to re-link your card so that we can benefit from Fred Meyer's community reward program. Follow this link to link or rel-ink your card today! https://www.fredmeyer.com/topic/community-rewards-4
The Amazon program is not working for us currently. When it is we will let parents know.
All you have to do is register your cards and Machetanz can benefit. It takes a few minutes of your time initially. After that all you have to do is shop or eat.
If you have a change in your student’s travel home, please try to notify the office before 3:00 pm. Messages are sent to classrooms at 3:15pm. Teachers do not always have time to check their email before the end of the day so it is always best to notify the office of any changes.
