Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
Arrival:
We begin opening car doors at 8:20am. During the winter months, students will wait in the vestibule area until 8:25am. Please be sure to stay in the lane closet to the curb and pull forward to the last open cone during drop off. When students are dropped off before the cones, we have large gaps in the lot and traffic begins backing up on Wiethaupt. Thank you in advance for your patience.
Dismissal:
We will continue dismissing bus riders from the front of the building. If your child is a car rider and you pick them up, please be sure to leave the lane closest to the curb open. I will plan on directing traffic to assist. Our top priority during dismissal is safety. We know this will take a bit longer and appreciate your cooperation.
Girls on the Run at Cold Water!
The Girls on the Run program is for third--, fourth--, and fifth-grade girls. During the eight-week program, we have fun, make new friends, increase physical activity, and learn important life skills. After the eight weeks, we have a big celebration of a 5K run with other schools and girls who participated in the program. It is so much fun!
Cold Water will have two head Coaches, Ms. Meyers and Ms. Nugent. We will have two weekly practices, Mondays and Wednesdays, from 4:15 to 5:30. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact the head coaches.

Ms. Nugent - jalawnugent@ssdmo.org
PE Update from Mrs. Murray and Mr. Johnson
Due to the weather, we know many students are wearing boots to school. If your child wears boots, please be sure to have them pack tennis shoes for physical education class. They will be allowed time at the beginning of PE to change into their tennis shoes.
Thank you!

Chromebook Tips
- Keep your Chromebook on a flat surface like a table or a desk. (Don't leave it on the floor where someone could step on it.)
- Don't pile things on top of your Chromebook.
- Make sure there isn't anything on the keyboard when you close your Chromebook.
- Keep food and drinks away from your Chromebook and make sure your hands are clean. (Crumbs and liquids are very bad for your Chromebook and can cause it to stop working properly.)
- Be careful how you carry your Chromebook. Make sure your Chromebook is closed, always use two hands, and never carry your Chromebook by the screen.
- Keep it charged. Plug it in when you are not using it so that it will be charged and ready when you need it.
- Tell your teacher right away if it breaks. Don't try to fix it yourself.
- Remember to take care of yourself online too. Stay on approved websites, keep your password private, and log off when you're done. Remember anything that happens under your account is your responsibility. Always remember the importance of digital citizenship!
