Last Call….PTO Chocolate Candy Bar Fundraiser
Our Chocolate Fundraiser is going well. Our PTO has done an awesome job, as well as all of the students who are selling the candy! The candy bars are $2.00 and come in a variety of flavors. If you would like your child to participate, please complete the form and return to school. If you have any questions, please contact the office. The last day for the fundraiser is February 7th.
IPADS and ELEARNING
Parents, since we’ve used all our snow make-up days, we will now switch to eLearning days for bad weather. In January and February, teachers will send iPads home with students every Friday, just in case of bad weather over the weekend. Please make sure the iPads come back to school on Monday fully charged, along with their chargers.
Remember, iPads used at home must still follow the internet guidelines in the student handbook. If an iPad is damaged, parents are responsible for repairs or replacement unless you’ve purchased optional technology insurance. Thank you for your help

Parents, just a reminder that students are provided with a free breakfast each morning. Items such as Starbucks, Dunkin, McDonald’s etc are not allowed. We are seeing more of this with our car riders in the mornings. Please make sure if you are providing this breakfast for your child, that they finish eating it before they enter the building.
Also, just a reminder that water bottles can ONLY contain water. Please make sure that your child does NOT bring Gatorade, juice, soda, tea, etc in their water bottles. Thanks so much for your help with this! It is greatly appreciated.
