Old News-

Please know that any messages that come through IC about delays are generated by me and not the district. I will send an email as soon as I know something has changed and will schedule the phone alert for 7:00 AM. However your best reference is to check the district website in case I am unable to send the message

If you send your children in with snow or rain boots they must have a change of shoes-those boots are far too warm and heavy to be in all day.

Students must have a coat to go outside, if not there are plenty in lost and found they can put on. the playground is very windy and cold and we go outside each day that we can

Please remember if you are picking your child up early to let us know ahead of time so that the teacher knows and the students are prepared. If not, it may take some time to locate your child during lunch/recess and they may not be as quick as you need them to be.

if you have a change of custodial arrangements, no changes to IC or dismissal plans may be made without a copy of court documentation.

Please remind your student that if they have a cell phone they should NOT be using it during the school day and if you get a text from them, please call school instead of responding.

The school playground is closed to the public from 8:45-4:00. If you bring younger siblings, they cannot go on until after dismissal. Thank you for your assistance with this.

Please make sure all water bottles, lunchboxes and clothing items are labeled with your child's name. We have a large collection already

Dismissal changes MUST be communicated to the front office even if you send your child's teacher a Dojo message-you must email Mrs Roberto and Mrs Quinlan with the changes-thank you!

Please only send water or juice boxes in with your child-Starbucks, Dunkin, Prime and Monster energy drinks as well as sodas or seltzers should remain at home .

Important reminder that we are nut and peanut free school. We have students with severe allergies. Thank you for helping keep everyone safe!
