Neff News - Back to School Edition
August 2024
Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year!
Hello Neff Families,
๐ Welcome Back to School! ๐
We hope youโve had a fantastic summer full of sunshine, adventure, and relaxation! Weโre bursting with excitement as we prepare for the start of a brand-new school year at Neff Elementary, and we canโt wait to see all of your smiling faces back in the hallways!
As we gear up for another amazing year, hereโs a few tips to get started:
- ๐ซ Start of the School Year Email: Be on the look out for an email from our sensational secretary, Mrs. Mitchell the week of August 12th. It will include all the information you need to start the year off smoothly!
- ๐ First Day of School: Mark your calendars for Monday, August 26th for 1st - 4th grade! Get ready to dive into a year full of learning, laughter, and new friends.
- ๐
First Day of School (KINDERGARTEN EDITION): Make sure you are signed up for a time to come visit your beautiful classrooms and incredible teachers on Monday, August 26th from 10:00am-12:00pm or 4:00pm-6:00pm. Then our kind-kindergartners will have their first full day on Tuesday, August 27th. Look for this link in Mrs. Mitchell's Start of the School year email.
- โฐ School Hours: Weโre ready to start the day with energy and enthusiasm from 8:45 am to 3:30pm. Be sure to set those alarms and get here on time!
- ๐ค Where do I go?: Teachers are getting their classrooms ready and are busy planning for the start of the school year. Teacher letters were mailed home on, August 8th, so be on the lookout! That is how you will know who your child's teacher will be this year!
- ๐ First Day Materials: Manheim Township will provide school supplies for students, so all your child needs to bring on the first day is a backpack and lunch, if your child is buying lunch. More info for "buyers" below. Some teachers may have also shared a few optional supplies in their back to school letter.
- ๐ Bus: Student bus assignments with bus number, stop location, and AM pick up times will be posted to the Sapphire Parent Portal later this month. Please check Sapphire for your child's transportation information.
- ๐ค All Hands on Deck: We'll have plenty of helping hands on deck to make sure your child finds their classroom the first few days.
Weโre all about making this year the best one yet, and we canโt do it without your support. Our amazing team is here to ensure every day is packed with opportunities for growth, friendship, and fun!
Feel free to reach out with any questions or just to say hello. Weโre always here for you and your child. Letโs make this year unforgettable together!
With excitement and joy,
Taylor Good
Principal
