Dear Mayo Families,

I am sharing a form with you on behalf of AA Transportation, for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year. This form is only needed if your child falls into any one of the categories below.

1) your child will be getting on or off the bus at an address other than their home address (daycare etc..)

2) Your child has two addresses (parents have different addresses)

3) your child will be in grades 1-3 during the 24/25 school year and has permission to get off the bus alone and this is indicated on the form (Students grades 1-3 will be brought back to school if no adult is present, unless an alternate transportation form is completed giving prior permission)

4) your child will be in grades 4-8 during the 24/25 school year and does NOT have permission to get off the bus unless an authorized person is present (if no form is received, your student will be allowed to disembark without an adult present)

Please complete the attached form and return it to Mayo. Forms can be sent in with your child or emailed directly to Mrs. Trefry at kelly_trefry@wrsd.net. Please turn in these forms by Friday June 14, 2024. If your child will be at Mt. View Middle School next year, please send the completed form to the middle school secretary Amy_Raymond@wrsd.net or Jennifer_Duggan@wrsd.net.

Just a reminder, these forms are only good for one school year, and any alternate stops previously put in place are removed at the end of each school year. Additionally, an updated list of authorized adults is needed each school year. (*If students can get off alone, no need to list authorized adults).

FORM

Thank you.

To 3rd, 4th, and 5th Graders and Guardians:

It is time for our Spring Concert! Please join us at 10:00 am, June 12th, for a musical celebration of diversity and acceptance.

Students are asked to wear Mayo colors on top, and concert appropriate bottoms. Green is the preferred color for tops, but any combination of green and white is absolutely acceptable. Mayo shirts will work. The goal is to avoid buying anything and using what you have at home. While I suggest wearing khaki shorts (it can get very warm in the gym!), families should use their best judgment for bottoms. Please remember that students are above the audience and the length of shorts/skirts/dresses must be kept in mind. Students should hydrate well the morning of and the day before. Water bottles are suggested for before and after the concert.

Some helpful reminders:

• The gym gets warm. Short sleeves and short bottoms are suggested.

• Please eat a well balanced breakfast to give you energy.

• All 3 - 5 grade students will be performing. Students will be in the areas next to the walls (please do not stand in the taped off area). Audience members will have space in the chairs and on the bleachers. Gym doors open to the audience at 9:40 AM.

We look forward to seeing you on June 12th!

So proud of the efforts of our 4th and 5th grade Girls On The Run members! They did great at the Polar Park 5K. They even made Spectrum News!

Allergy season is upon us! If your child experiences seasonal allergies, please ensure they take their allergy medicine at home before school. The health office does not have medicine for seasonal allergies. Eye drops before school can help your child have a better day. Please see "when to keep your child home" on the WRSD website for further guidance.

***

Please pick up your child’s medications by the last day of school at or before dismissal on Tuesday, June 18th. Parents or guardians must transport medications including prescription and over the counter medications. This includes parents and guardians of summer school students. Children are not allowed to transport medications of any kind including over-the-counter medications to and from school.

Medication paperwork must be renewed each year. Both a physician order and parent consent are required for medication administration at school. Please see the WRSD website for required health forms. Please deliver medications with accompanying physician orders and parent consents to the health office on or 2 days before the first day of school next Fall.

Field Trip season is almost done :(

Please check with your child's teacher for any food allergy restrictions in the class that may effect your child's packed lunch.

All Chaperones must have a valid and active CORI and WRSD volunteer badge. (No exceptions)

Thank you for your understanding.

Be sure to label your child's belongings!
