*We are wearing Red in support of Education-Feel free to send your child in red if you want to.
Wednesday-Color Wheel Wednesday- Wear your teacher's favorite color shirt. (I will have them send out their favorite colors soon!)
Take 5 Thursday- Send a snack for your teacher to enjoy on a quick break!
*School Spirit Day- Wear black, yellow, and white.
Freaky Friday- Kids dress up like teachers and teachers dress up like the kids!
Please read carefully.
Please make note and adhere to this particular policy. (Regular day)
You are welcome to check to make sure we received the note before 12:00. We do not take transportation changes after 1:40. It is our policy.
Early Dismissal: We cannot dismiss students from the front office after 1:40. Please do not pull in the parking lot because you will be trapped by our busses. It's truly a safety issue.
Transportation changes in general-
Please only make a transportation change if it is an EMERGENCY. It is very confusing for the teacher, the child, and the front office staff. We are happy to assist you during emergencies, if you communicate your needs early, but please keep it limited.
Appreciation Ideas
- Adopt a grade level and shower them with love all week!
- Classroom Parents- Pick your child's homeroom teacher and shower him or her with acts of kindness.
- Church/Business- Can your church/business provide snacks, drinks, or a sweet treat one day?
