Sycamore Canyon Family Newsletter

Thank you to PTA, all our incredible volunteers, the multitude of donations, and our amazing community who created a memorable Fall Carnival on Saturday! We are so lucky to have such a dedicated group of families. Thank you!

Remember...

• In order to keep traffic flowing in the morning we are asking parents to remember if your student needs help getting out of the car, please park and help your students out.
• If you are parking in the handicap stalls, please have your Handicap Placard clearly displayed.
• Please keep your speed slow in the parking lot. We have many little students walking with parents in the parking lot.

If you have questions about any of these procedures, please contact the office.

Thank you!

If you wish to make an appointment to see your child's teacher, please email or call the teacher. Please do not just duck into their classrooms before or after school. They are preparing their day or the next day's lessons and need that time to prepare. If you have questions about items that might have been left in the classroom at the end of the day, please check in the office first, and we can help call the classroom for you. Thank you!
