Make your Mark

Thank you all for sending your notes for attendance, we hope that your family is able to heal and rest this long weekend. Next week, we will have our annual fundraiser. We hope that you will participate. We will also celebrate the 100th day of school on Tuesday.

Our Annual Snowball Challenge will take place next week. Each grade level will be competing to see who can fill their snowman with the most cotton balls. Each cotton ball costs 25 cents. All proceeds will go towards end of the year fun at Stanton Elementary.

The class in each grade level with the most cotton sold will win a popsicle party and of course BRAGGING RIGHTS!!!

Sales will end at 9 am on Friday, Feb 7!

Please remember that daily attendance is a critical piece of academic success. All students should arrive on campus between 7:35 and 7:55. Students have no more than 3 days to bring a note back in the event of an absence for it to be counted as excused. Parents are limited to writing 3 notes per semester. Any consecutive absences of more than 3 days requires a doctor's note. Excessive absences can result in Saturday School assignment and/or court fines for truancy. Every 3 tardy or leaving early will result in an unexcused absence.

Students may not be picked up from school between 2:30 and dismissal on Monday - Thursday or after 1:30 on Friday. This begins a very active and moving campus, so we do not do pick-ups. Please arrive prior to then or wait until after school.

Modeling self-care for our kids is so important. As a family, take a moment each day to appreciate the small things. Here are some daily suggestions.
