WEEKLY PAWS NEWSLETTER
August 30, 2024
REMINDER: NO SCHOOL on Monday, September 2 in observance of Labor Day.
- Labor Day (Student/staff holiday) {Students & all staff}
Enjoy the three-day weekend!
- All student checkouts must occur before 2:30 PM.
- If a student must be checked out early from school, a parent or guardian (who is listed in student record) must present identification before the child will be allowed to check out.
- To expedite the process, add the ParentVUE app to your phone to access student ID barcode during check out
- The parent should come to the office and request student check out with the front office staff.
- The time of checkout will be recorded by a staff member at the attendance station.
- No parent will be allowed to go to the student’s classroom to pick them up.
Lunch Visitors are not allowed at this time so that we are able to establish our schedule and procedures prior to having distinguished guests join us later in the year.
Our anticipated date for guests to join us is Monday, September 9.
As you plan for your visit, please note that the cost for an adult lunch is $4.00.
Once we open the cafeteria for parents / guardians to join us, we ask that you limit lunch visits to ONE per month and adhere to the following:
- Please inform your child’s classroom teacher prior to your visit.
- Designated tables and picnic tables, as weather allows, will be available for lunch guests.
- Based on space limitations, we ask that you limit 2 non-student guests per visit.
- Students will not be allowed to bring a classroom friend to join them for lunch at this time.
- Visits should be reserved for special occasions – i.e. birthday, family from out of town, etc.
- Parents WILL NOT be allowed to report to recess or classroom with students following lunch.
As a best practice, we recommend you call the front office in advance of your lunch visit to make sure there are no schedule changes, special events, grab & go meals, etc. that would prevent you from being able to join your student(s) for lunch.
