Dear Parents:

We will again be partnering with Cherry Health to offer dental and vision services for our students during this school year. These services will include a dental exam, x-rays, cleaning, fluoride, and sealants if needed as well as a comprehensive dilated eye exam. If glasses are prescribed, they will be ordered and delivered to your school after a discussion with a parent or guardian. This is a wonderful opportunity to have these preventative services completed at school if you do not have a dentist or vision provider or are already a patient with Cherry Health. If you would like these services and are unsure if you registered, please call Cherry Health School Linked Health programs at 616-776-2345.

We are pleased to be able to offer Kids' Food Basket sack suppers and Hand2Hand weekend meals again this year to all students that choose to have one. A note was sent home with your child to participate in receiving food from these programs. Please return the notes to your child's teacher if you would like your child to bring home a sack supper daily or receive a free weekend meal from Hand2Hand.

Parents, if your child has medication that needs to be taken during school hours, we will first need this form filled out by the parent and the doctor. Medication will not be given unless this form is provided. Please do not send medication with your child. you can contact the office for more information.

Drop-Off -Students can be dropped off in the rear lot off of 36th street between 8:15 am and 8:30 am. Staff will call you forward to the flag and open the door for your student.

For safety, we ask that you and your student remain in your vehicle until staff directs you to the drop-off area. Please have your child’s coat on and additional items ready prior to pulling into the drop-off zone.

Pick-Up- Students can be picked up in the rear lot off 36th street at 3:30 pm. Please remember to have your student information sign at your window.

Please pay close attention to security officers and staff directing traffic daily. For safety please follow directions of staff during pick-up and drop-off and practice slow speeds through the student drop-off pick-up zone.

Please observe the Right Turn Only Sign as you exit the parking lot. Attempts to turn left have resulted in some extremely close calls when entering traffic on 36th street.
