Celebrating Success
Tie Tuesday
If you have any, gently used, ties you would like to donate so additional scholars can participate in Tie Tuesday, we would gracefully accept them. Please send them with your scholar to give to Mr. Gaylor.
In Person Protocols
Please make sure your scholar is brought to school and picked up on time. As a reminder, we begin arrivals at 7:45. Your scholar is considered tardy at 8:15. Dismissal begins at 3:00 and ends promptly at 3:30. Frequent tardiness or late pick ups may result in your scholar being shifted to our remote learning option.
Lastly, we wanted to provide a reminder on a few of our safety protocols. Please review the following letter to reaffirm your understanding of these expectations. Thank you for ensuring these protocols are followed. We need your support to ensure we are able to continue in person learning.
