I look forward to seeing you all soon and working together to make it another amazing year of learning, growth, and lasting connections.

OPEN HOUSE KINDERGARTEN-5TH GRADE

MORE INFO TO COME
STAGGERED START INFORMATION
As a reminder, the first few days of school will include a staggered start. Please review the information below so you can best plan for your child(ren) and your family.
Kindergarten-5th we are doing a staggered start over the first two days of school on September 1st and 2nd similar to how we have done the last two school years. The staggered start provides opportunities, especially for our younger students, to work with teachers on these days to better understand school and classroom norms, technology expectations, safety protocols, lunch procedures, recess routines, bus arrival/departure processes, and more. The details of which students will attend which day are shown below.
4K Students will have Get-To-Know-You Conferences on Thursday, September 1st and Friday, September 2nd where parents and their child can attend for a short meeting with the teacher. Then, 4K students will have a staggered start on Tuesday, September 6th or Wednesday, September 7th. Details about the conferences was emailed to families on 8/17/22.

In regards to same day notification (this should only be done for emergencies), please call First Student Busing at 414-422-2020 so they can pass along the information to the bus driver.
MEDICATIONS FOR THE 2022-23 SCHOOL YEAR
If your student will require ANY (over the counter or prescription) medication for the 22-23 school year please fill out the Request to Administer Medication form found on our district website and have it signed by your physician.
All medication can then be dropped off at school in its original container along with this form. Please feel free to drop off medication in the Southwood Glen office.
