Family Food Pantry

Our Family School Pantry will be Thursday, Jan. 9 from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. as a drive-through at the back of John R. Wooden Middle School. Families should enter the school's one-way road off of Sycamore Street. A volunteer will write down a few pieces of information and then offer a variety of items. These items will then be placed in your vehicle. Future food pantry dates this year are Feb. 13, March 13, April 10, and May 15.

Volunteering at Green

All volunteers MUST have a background check on file in order to participate in class parties, field trips, etc. The background check should be done in advance and cannot be done the day of an event. Please contact Mrs. Cramer for a form and more information.

A driver's license is also required for our new Verkada guest check-in station. This procedure will be completed for each volunteer activity.

*Please note: Visitors are not allowed during lunch. Thank you for your understanding.

Office News

Dismissal: If you wish to change your child's dismissal transportation, you must notify Mrs. Cramer at the office by 3:00.

PLEASE DISPLAY YOUR CAR RIDER SIGN FROM THE REAR VIEW MIRROR SO WE CAN MAKE DISMISSAL QUICKER. ADDTIONAL CAR RIDER SIGNS CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE OFFICE.

Clinic Updates

Colder Weather: Students will continue to have outside recess so long as the weather is not too cold. Please make sure your child has a coat, hat, and gloves. There are a limited number of these items in the clinic for students to borrow.

When to Stay Home: Students are sent home if their temperature is 100.4 degrees or higher, or when a student vomits. Your child must be fever free (without medication) and not have vomited for 24 hours before returning to school.
