Thank You!
As we have moved into phase 2 of the construction project we have had to shift some of our daily procedures including drop off and pick up. We appreciate everyone's patients. Please be sure to follow these procedures in order to help us keep all students safe.
- In the morning, car riders need to be dropped off on the car rider side of the building. Have students ready to exit the car and help staff get them out quickly. The helps us move cars through and avoid backing up onto Cedarmeade Ave. Parents should not get out of their vehicles.
- Drop off and pick up procedures remain the same for students who are in the cottages.
- If your child arrives late and their classroom is currently in a cottage, the parent and student need to report to the office to officially check in before the students reports to class.
- If you need to pick up your child early, you need to report to the office to sign them out first. You should not go directly to the cottages.
"All In" - 3rd and 4th Graders Only
All 3rd and 4th grade students brought home a letter with their report cards about All In. This is a program being offered to students in order to provide additional support in a small group setting. All in will be held on Saturdays from 8:30am-11:30am. The first day of Saturday School is February 3rd, 2024.
If you are interested in your child attending please fill out the form and return it to your child's teachers by January 23rd. If forms are turned in after that, transportation may not be available.
