Caldwell Connection
January 2021
A Message from the Principal
I hope that your family had a restful Winter Break and had time to enjoy the important people in your life.
We have "hit the ground running" in the new semester. Teachers are teaching and kids are learning. Please remember the importance of your student being at school everyday unless they are sick. Missing a day of instruction can have a big impact. We have important learning opportunities planned each day and we want everyone here as much as possible.
I am excited for all the things that 2022 will hold for Caldwell Elementary! I know many wonderful things will happen. With that being said, we are still facing many challenges due to COVID. We appreciate your support and encouragement. Teachers are working hard each and everyday to ensure that all students are growing. Please keep a close eye on campus and district communication. As we have learned over the past two years, things can change quickly and it is important to stay up-to-date.
Please reach out if you have any questions or needs.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dossey

Reminders
- Please remember that the school doors do not open until 7:15am each morning. Students who are outside before this time are not supervised by staff members. If you arrive before 7:15am and have your child wait in the car with you until the doors open, please park while you wait in a parking spot and not in the drop off lane.
- It is getting cold outside. Students will go outside at recess unless it is below 32°. Please make sure your student is dressed appropriately for the weather and that their coats, gloves, and hats are labeled. If you need help getting your student a coat, please call us. We can help.
- Our lost and found is overflowing with lost jackets. If your child is missing a jacket, please encourage them to look in the lost and found. You are also welcome to stop by the office and we will be happy to let you look through the lost and found to see if you can identify any of your child's belongings.
