Anderson's Mrs. Majewski presented "Let Grow" at a PTO presentation recently. This is a new initiative that Anderson is incorporating.

As a reminder, we will have outdoor recess whenever the windchill is above 0 degrees. Be sure your child is coming to school with cold weather gear including hats, gloves. When there is snow on the ground, only students wearing boots will be permitted to play in the snow.

As we approach the colder months, we’d like to remind you of a few important things to help keep our school days running smoothly:

1. Keep Your Contact Information Up to Date
   It’s essential that we have accurate and current contact information for both parents/guardians as well as emergency contacts. This ensures we can reach you quickly if the nurse needs to notify you of an illness or injury or if the office needs to confirm who will be picking up your child. Please take a moment to double-check your phone numbers and emergency contacts.

2. Reporting Absences
   If your child will be absent, don’t forget to call our attendance line (331) 228-3300 and provide the reason for their absence. Be specific—whether it’s due to illness (e.g., fever or vomiting), an appointment, or travel plans. If a reason isn’t listed when you call in, you will receive a follow-up call to confirm the absence.

3. When to Return After Illness
   If your child becomes ill at school or home, please remember they must be fever-free, vomiting-free, and diarrhea-free for 24 hours before returning to school. This helps keep all our students healthy and minimizes the spread of illness.

4. Label Your Child’s Belongings
   Coats, snow pants, lunch boxes, water bottles, and other personal items can easily get misplaced. To ensure they return home, please label everything with your child’s name. If you’re missing anything, check our Lost and Found—it’s overflowing with unclaimed items!

5. Extra Clothes for Emergencies
   For our youngest learners and even our older students, having an extra set of clothes at school can be a lifesaver. Wet slides, spills, or messy play can happen, and having dry clothes ready to go helps keep your child comfortable and focused on learning. The nurse’s office has a small supply of clothing, but sizes are limited.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in helping us maintain a caring and organized school environment. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to the office.

Warm regards,
The Anderson Elementary Team

Thank you to everyone who donated to the Big Hearts organization. If you didn't donate but still are interested in helping make the holidays special for kids in need, we have the Salvation Army toy drive going on. Students can drop off any donations in the box that is right outside the main office.

Wanting to help with our first Holiday Student Market but don't have a lot of time? Consider buying something from our Amazon wish list to help make this event a memorable one!
