Bowne-Munro Family Newsletter

Please be mindful of your speed when driving in our school parking lot. We have many teachers and students who are walking across the lot at all times of the day. In order to make sure that all pedestrians are safe, please drive slowly and carefully.

Children are attending outdoor recess for 30 minutes each day unless it is too wet or the "feels like" temperature is registering below 36 degrees. In addition, our students spend time outdoors during physical education class as well. It is important that all children have appropriate outerwear to stay warm and healthy when playing outdoors. If you need assistance getting a winter coat for your child, please reach out to us. We are here to help.

Please make sure to label all of your child's outerwear so that it can be returned to you if it gets misplaced at school. Remind your child to check the Lost and Found by the gym to locate any missing items.

Many of our school clubs are starting up! In order to be a part of a school club, parents MUST register their child through Community Pass. Registration for some clubs is limited.

When dropping off your child for a club, please DO NOT drive away without seeing that your child has entered the building. There is no supervision available for students prior to the club start time.

Clubs that have already begun include:

Safety Patrol with Mrs. Marrone for grade 4

Meets: select Tuesdays (see schedule) 8:00 am - 8:55 am

Math Club with Mrs. Marrone for grades 3 &4

Meets: Wednesdays 8:00 am - 8:55 am

More information about clubs can be found on our website.

In an effort to create a more inclusive school environment, we'd like to celebrate our diversity and learn more about each others' heritage throughout the school year. Parents/guardians are welcome to come in and share about your family's culture! At any time during the school year, if you'd like to present to your child's classroom or grade level, please contact Mrs. Kaboski at nkaboski@ebnet.org so we can arrange a time for you to come in. We'd love to have you join us!
