Husky Happenings
January 10th, 2025
Message from Mrs. Sheppard
We had a great first week back from break! It's always a little tough getting back into the routine but we all made it!
Please remember that we do NOT dismiss students between 3:40-4:00 pm due to the office being extremely busy at the end of the day. If you need to pick up your child early from school, please do so BEFORE 3:40 pm. We appreciate your help with this!!!
We have transitioned to bringing students inside the building for morning line up. They will not be entering the building until 9:00. We would appreciate if parents that are dropping students off in cars would pull up right next to the sidewalk, and head down as far as possible. BOTH doors to the cafeteria are open for students to enter. Please DO NOT drop students off in the middle of the parking lot! We do not want anyone to get hurt. There are staff members outside to help students with arrival. Drop off can be a frustrating time, but if everyone has a little patience, we can all make sure everyone is safe!
This week in the Positivity Project we will discuss the character strength of Optimism. Optimism means that you expect the best from the future and work to acheive it. Please read the letter and talk about this trait with your family during the week to reinforce what we are talking about in school.
Please feel free to email or DOJO me with questions you might have and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
