MEDICATION REMINDER
If your child has medication remaining in the Nurse's Clinic at the end of the year, an adult must pick it up. No medication is to be transported by a child. Medication remaining in the Clinic past the last day of school must be discarded. This includes inhalers and Epi-pens.
Fidget Spinners
We have been having some issues with children bringing fidget spinners to school. The spinners are highly distracting to students and those around them. Children are trading them, loosing them and spinning them instead of doing their work. We would like to ask that the children please keep these at home. If a student has one, it will be taken from them and turned into the office. A parent must come to the school office to retrive it. This also applies to our Champions program and all school busses. Thank you for your cooperation.
Fourth Grade Evening Celebration, Cookies Requested
The fourth grade celebration team is looking for cookie donations on May 24th for the 4th grade celebration.
Would you consider 'paying it forward' to this year's 4th graders by donating a dozen cookies?
Cookies are to be dropped off at the school on Wednesday, May 24th. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
