Remember...tomorrow is early release. This means that school will be out at 2:05 and busses will be 90 minutes earlier than normal. Please plan accordingly.
If you haven't filled out your kiddos after school plan please do so. The only time you will need to call is if their regular plan has changed. All calls need to be in by 2:30 so that I can make sure their teacher knows of the changed plans.
Morning Boys and Girls Club has started. Drop off times are 7:30 - 7:45 am. After this time, the doors will remain locked until 8:45 am for regular school hours. Only students that have registered may attend. Boys and Girls Club registration forms can be picked up at the office.
Remember that the doors are unlocked at 8:45 to let students in and are then locked throughout the rest of the day. For safety reasons please do not drop off kiddos before that time as they will have to wait outside as teachers and staff finish preparing for their day. It's starting to get colder in the mornings so please make sure that you are sending them to school with a coat. If you arrive during the locked time, ring the bell and patiently wait to be let in.
Sept. 12th is picture day. Fliers will be going out soon or you can order online at mylifetouch.com.
The school code is EVTHQMGMW.
It is very important to fill out the lunch applications even if you don't think you qualify for free/reduced lunch. Completed applications help fund our Title 1 pre-k program. I have paper forms in the office or you can fill it out online @ kpbsd.org. School Cafe is only used for filling out the lunch application. To add money to your kiddos lunch account sign in to your Powerschool parent account. On the left hand side there's a tab labeled lunch. Once you click on that you will be able to check their balance as well as add money to their account. If after trying the above steps and you aren't able to see their balance please call me @ 260-1345 and I can walk you through it.
If you would like to be a classroom volunteer, you need to fill out the volunteer application through the school district and be approved before you can be in the classroom. This has to be done every year.
We need your help. The PTO (parent teacher organization) is looking for parents to be on the PTO board. If interested in being involved with this, please call the office and I will get you in touch with them. They meet the third Monday of each month. Next meeting is Monday, Sept . 12th.
After school cross country running program has started with Mrs. Ham. Information is below.
