During our March meeting, we will be planning for the Special Person Dance and begin planning for the Cardinal Color Run in September of 2025.

Any and all are welcome!

Winter weather is here!

Please be sure to send your students dressed for the winter weather. Students will be outside for recess unless it is raining or the "feels like" temperature is less than 10 degrees.

Students should wear winter coats, snowpants, boots, mittens, and hats. We recommend labeling winter items so if they are lost they are easy to identify ad return to the owner.

If your family needs assistance with winter gear, please contact the office at 231-760-1700.

Please review our Spectator Guidelines with your children before attending sporting events and other special events.

Cardinal Families,

Please review the poster below.

We are here to work collaboratively to provide a safe, nurturing school for your children. We are happy to meet with you regarding any concerns you may have. We do ask that you follow the expectations outlined below, or you will be asked to leave and schedule a time to meet with us later.

Thank you for your assistance with this.

Sincerely,

The Cardinal Elementary Office, Teachers, and Staff
