FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE
HELP!! Returning Clothing to Nurse Office
We are running low on some of our sizes! If you have items that were borrowed from the Health Office, please return those as soon as possible. If your child tends to still have accidents, please make sure you are sending in additional clothing in the backpack.
As you begin spring cleaning, if there are pants you would like to donate, we would gladly accept those items.
Thank you!
Nurse Carrie
Our Family Picnic is on Friday, May 24, from 11:30 am-12:30 pm. We are so excited to have our parents here to celebrate all the hard work our students have put in and all they have accomplished this year! You may bring your lunch, purchase lunch at one of the many food trucks we have reserved or preorder your student a sack lunch from our cafeteria.
You are welcome to come to the school no earlier than 10:50 am to secure your space on the field, set up shade tents, and preorder lunch at one of the food trucks joining us this year. Please note that the field space is the only area available for families to gather.
*Your child's teacher will send you a link to order from the school kitchen if you need to utilize this service.
Here is the menu for the sack lunch option:
- Meat and Cheese Sandwich
- Carrots
- Apple
- Cookie
- Milk
Sack lunches are $2.80 for students.
Students will exit the school building to the field area at 11:30. They can find their families and enjoy time together. At 12:30, we will ask that you begin packing up and out what you brought in. By 12:45, all students not being checked out of school will be asked to line up at the regular location to enter the building. We will also request that families also be ready to vacate the field and head out to enjoy the start of summer break, as we head back into the building to finish out the last day.
It is a FULL day of school on the last day. If you choose to check your student out to take home after the picnic, you will do so at the tables provided. We will work to have several table locations on the blacktop area near the back playground closest to the field. You may check them out at any time at those tables while the picnic is happening, beginning at 11:00, so you do not have to wait in a long line at the end of the event. Also, please be sure to have an ID should there be questions from our staff if we are unfamiliar with you.
Again, please note that all staff remains at school until all students are accounted for, so please check your child out before leaving with them. We appreciate having to make extra phone calls or create unnecessary worry for any staff or families.
We are working to finish out this year strong and begin next year with the coverage and support we need, especially with the additional growth. Please think about how you can help support your students and PVE fill the needs we have with coverage.
This is a great group of people with whom to work. Come join our team and enjoy time with the amazing students we have the privilege of supporting. To apply, go to Recruitment & Retention | West Ada School District and all district opening. If you need support, please contact Amy or the front office staff.
Please email Amy Senethavilay after you apply. senethavilay.amy@westada.org
Talent show auditions will be held afterschool Wednesday, May 8th, on a first come, first serve basis. Parent/adult must be present to supervise children. The students selected must be able to commit to the parent & school performances on May 22 at 6:00 pm and May 24 during the morning. Student performance must be school appropriate and no longer than 2 minutes. Students must come to auditions prepared with music on a cd or a device with Bluetooth or headphone jack. Questions? Email hobbs.crystal@westada.org
Need To Make A Change In How Your Child Gets Home? Checking Out a Student?
Please get in touch with the office before 3:00 for any last-minute changes at the end of the day, so we have plenty of time to communicate with staff members. (If preplanned, please email both the teacher and office.)
If you are coming in at the end of the day to check out a student, please note we will not call students down after 3:45 pm. They are already cleaning up and transitioning for release at the end of the day.
Thank you for being so understanding!
