A Great First Week For K-3!
Horizon Families,
We have arrived! It feels so good to have the kids back in our building! We look forward to welcoming our 4/5 students back on Monday. In this newsletter, you will find some updates, new information, and upcoming events to mark on your calendars. If you haven't completed your back-to-school forms, please do so at Skyward under "Forms." There you will find consent to photograph, emergency card update, etc. These are important and need to be completed by all of our families.
Enjoy your weekend, and we look forward to a Fabulous Fall!
Warmest Regards,
Amy Fadorsen
Attendance Procedure Clarification
Car Rider Procedures
Car Rider families,
We've made it through our first week of school! Thank you so much for being patient with us as we navigate almost 200 different cars in line at drop off and pick up. We'd like to share a few reminders about our car rider procedures to ensure things go smoothly next week when we welcome our 4th and 5th grade students back.
1- Our traffic aides begin drop off at 8:08 and will conclude at 8:20. If you arrive at 8:20 or later, please pull around to Door A at the front of the building and walk your student/s into the office.
2- Please have your student/s ready to exit the car at drop off as soon as your car comes to a complete stop.
3- Stay in your vehicle at all times both during drop off and pick up.
4- Please stay between the yellow line and the curb all the way around, unless one of the traffic aides directs you to go around another vehicle.
5- Be sure to pull all the way forward so that we can get as many children out at the curbside as possible.
6- Thank you for your attention to all of these minor, but very important details to our car rider line.
2-Hour Delays!
Inclement weather will soon be upon us, so we want you to be prepared. In the event of a 2-hour delay, just like school closings, announcements are sent via School Messenger at 6:30 a.m. They are also posted on local television on-air graphics and websites, as well as posted to PHM social media. Please click this link for detailed information regarding 2-Hour Delays. As a reminder, if there is a 2-hour delay, breakfast will not be served and morning Kids Club will be closed.
