Welcome back!
Want to see some of our happenings? Be sure to follow us on Facebook!
Celebrate Reading Day!
Each year our parent section grows and grows! We hope that we have even more in attendance this year. Look for the designated parent section near the front door. The parade begins at 8:00 sharp, and the parking lot will be roped off by 7:40 AM to keep our parading book characters safe.
Following the parade, Ms. Duvall will be reading one of her favorite books. Can you guess what character she will be?
We cannot wait to see what characters come to school on September 1!

Morning Drop Off & Afternoon Pick Up
You can help the afternoon line go quicker by:
- Displaying your child's car tag in your window.
- Helping your child memorize their teacher name and number.
- Adhering to the traffic flows and crossing guards.
- Staying in your car, if you are in the car line.
- Once your car is loaded, please move forward when traffic begins. If you need to help your child with their car seat or seat belt, pull forward to allow the next set of cars up and then help your child.
If you plan to walk up to get your child, please go to the walker door.
Notes from Nurse Marla
We will be doing vision and hearing screenings starting in September. Every student will be screened by Thanksgiving.
Snacks
Each classroom has a designated snack time. If you wish, please send a healthy snack with your child each day. Snacks will not be passed out by the nurse, if they are forgotten. Chips, candy, soda, cakes, etc. will not be allowed. Allowable snacks to eat during class are apples, carrot sticks, crackers, etc. Water is also allowed in the classrooms.
Birthday Treats
It is district policy that no treats be passed out on birthdays unless they
- are individually packaged to send home AND
- have all nutritional information including ingredients on the label.
Non-food treats are recommended, if you would like to send treats for your child's special day.
