Dear Caregivers and Families,

Thank you so much for participating in the Winter conferences. It was a pleasure to greet many of you and to sit in on some of the conferences. The partnership between school and home is crucial for the development of all our otters.

During the conferences, you had the opportunity to see your students' progress in Fastbridge. Please remember that while we have your children for about seven hours each day and do our best to personalize their instruction, we rely on you to ensure they get a good night's sleep every night, practice reading for at least 20 minutes every day, and attend school regularly. These steps are essential for preparing your child for learning when they are with us.

Thank you again for all your support,

Un abrazo
Mrs. Bell

We wanted to provide some guidelines regarding birthday treats and appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the well-being and inclusivity of all students. Please take a moment to review the following reminders:

1. Accessibility and Allergies: When bringing in birthday treats, please ensure that the food labels are easily accessible to Kelsey and Madhu, our staff members at the front desk, who are responsible for allergy awareness. This allows them to check for any potential allergens that may affect students in the class.

2. Individually Packed Items: We kindly request that you consider providing individually packed items for birthday treats. This helps with portion control and ensures convenience for distribution. Individually packaged treats also minimize the risk of cross-contamination and promote cleanliness.

3. Non-Food Treats: We encourage you to explore the option of non-food treats for birthdays. Non-food items can be equally enjoyable and are a great way to celebrate while accommodating various dietary preferences and restrictions. Examples include small toys, stickers, pencils, or bookmarks.

4. No Class-Wide Food Items: To maintain a balanced and inclusive approach, we kindly ask that you refrain from providing class-wide food items such as pizzas or hot dishes. This helps prevent any potential disruptions to the regular meal routine and ensures that dietary restrictions are respected.

5. No Balloons: While we understand that balloons are often associated with celebrations, we kindly request that you refrain from bringing balloons to school. This is to maintain a safe and distraction-free environment for all students.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in following these guidelines. By working together, we can create inclusive celebrations that ensure the well-being of every student. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Hello MV parents/caregivers,

If your child will be absent from school OR has an appointment during the day, please call the attendance line (608.478.5000, #1). If you email your student's teacher about their absence or appointment, please include me in your email so I can get the message in a timely manner and forgo giving you a safety arrival call; or have your student in the office ready for you if you need to pick them up for an appointment. We always appreciate you letting us know in advance.

Thank you!

There is no cell phone usage during school hours. Please click here to review the policy.

If your student has a fever or is feeling ill, please keep them home and call the attendance line for their absence. 608.478.5000, #1
