A word from your principal

Krueger families
I wanted to share some of the opportunities we have to recognize students during the school year for learning and social-emotional development. We believe in fostering both for your child. As we have different opportunities for recognition, students' names are shared on our Student Announcements.
Daily CAV tickets are earned by students who are always valuing our school. All staff members pass out tickets to students engaging in the 4 Bs. Every Friday, we have a drawing for the week. The names of all the students drawn are announced each Friday and students visit the office to pick a prize from the office treasure box. To earn CAV tickets, students demonstrate one of the following 4 Bs:
Being Respectful
Being Responsible
Being Safe
Being Kind
The Cavalier Reader of the month will earn a token to the Krueger Book Vending Machine.

Student Elementary Handbook
The student elementary handbook is linked below for your reference.
Reminders
- School Hours: 7:45 am -3:00 pm. If students arrive after 7:45 a.m., they will be considered tardy.
- Make sure your child's teacher knows how your child will go home each day.
- If you change your child's way home for the school day, please call the school by 2 p.m., ensuring ample time for the office staff to notify your child's teacher.
- If you need to change your child's way home permanently or for the day, either send an email or note to your child's teacher. We are not able to change the way home if the change comes from the student.
- If your child rides a bike to and from school, remind them to leave their bike inside the gated area at the side of the school.
