For security purposes all visitors are to remain outside.

Your student can check in at the office to get a pass.

Please make sure to call in for each day that your student is absent. Please do not email just the student's teacher for an absence. If the teacher is out that day, we do not always get the message and want to make sure that we are as accurate as possible when marking attendance. Also, please let us know ahead of time if your student will be late due to an appointment or if you need to pick up your student early from school. This helps us to be able to avoid unnecessary attendance issues as well as get your student from their classroom in a reasonable amount of time.

During winter, students go outdoors every day

unless the "feel-like" temperature is -5 or below.

Students should show Preparedness every day by bringing:

❄snow gloves

❄hats

❄snow pants

❄snow boots
❄Winter coat

Students who do not have on snow pants or snow boots must stay on the Blacktop when there is snow on the ground. We do NOT have enough extra clothing for students to be borrowing from the office on a daily basis. Thank you.

Our lost & found is OVERFLOWING! Please have your child look through the lost and found for any of their missing items during the day or at conferences. We will be donating all remaining items over the Fall Break.

The Health Office is in need of clean, gently used girls elastic waist pants/leggings sizes 6-10 and also girls tops all sizes. Please drop off any donations in the office. Thank you.

The yearbook is in need of your school activity photos. Any first-day-of-school pictures, field trips, classroom parties, book fairs, and general fun photos that you take in any school-related activity can be submitted to Amy Demaster at amydemaster@gmail.com.

Please note that when students have to leave during the day, they will remain with their class until their pick-up person has arrived and either called the office or buzzed the door. Due to confidentiality and students not getting picked up at their specified time, we can not have children waiting in the office. Please understand that if you need them at a specific time for an appointment, you may need to come a few minutes earlier so we have time to get them from their classroom.

Visitors are to remain outside when coming to pick up or drop off your student. Thank you for your cooperation.

When calling to change after school plans please email the teacher before 10:00 am with your change or call the office before 2:15. The end of the day is very busy and we need that extra time to get the message to the teachers before school lets out.
