Parents & Families,
Thank you for another great week! Next week we begin our Big Kahuna Fundraiser! Look for an information packet to come home with your student on Tuesday of next week! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Arrival/Dismissal Notes
Thank you for helping us get our dismissal running smoothly in record time! We are running on time, getting students out safely.
- All families picking up must have a pink hangtag. If the driver does not have a pink hangtag, he/she will have to go inside, get one, then get back in their car to return to the pick up line. We will no longer release students from inside. All students must be picked up in the dismissal lines.
- Students must be picked up before 4:35. A $10 late fee per student will be charged to families who do not pick up on time.
- All students need to be dropped off in the arrival lines. Students should not be dropped off in the parking lot. With cars driving through our parking lot, it is very dangerous for a student to navigate on their own.
- Our doors open at 7:15, students dropped off prior to 7:15 are not monitored by campus staff. It is unsafe for your child to be alone outside the school building.
- Be sure to not let your child out of the car until the carline has stopped and is not moving.
- We will close the back arrival area at 7:45 each morning.

What is Birthday Thursday?
The last Thursday of every month is our time to celebrate students who had a birthday in that month. Each class has a small, short celebration at the end of the day. Feel free to reach out to your child's teacher to provide a treat. We ask that you please send items that are easy to pass out like cookies or cupcakes. Cakes and pies are hard to cut and distribute. This celebration is at the end of the day, for the students. Parents are not invited to our small Birthday Thursday celebrations.
