4. The book fair opens next week!! Please see this edition of the newsletter for more information!
5. We are having some concerns with children arriving to school early. It is very important that you know that staff supervision starts outside of school at 8:15 a.m. The doors open at 8:20. When students arrive to school too early, they have the temptation to look for things to do to entertain themselves that may not meet ROAR expectations. Not all students are following the expectation of "Do the right thing, even if no one is looking", and this is a safety concern. Please be mindful of the time your children are arriving to school, and I would so greatly appreciate it if you could have a talk with your children about expectations before school.
6. Have a wonderful weekend with your families!
