New Home Elementary

Our students have done an amazing job learning the expectations and procedures for our new school building. We are proud of our Leopards for demonstrating our core character pillars: Leopards are Safe, Leopards are Respectful, Leopards are Responsible, and Leopards can do anything with hard work!

• Our Drop Off and Pick Up has started to run smoothly. We learned a lot from the first few days of school. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we continue to perfect this process.
• One thing we need from parents is to keep the lot next to 211 and in front of the school clear. Please do not park in the dirt and walk up to get your student. It is a safety issue as we are not able to properly monitor that lot. Please get into the line and we will get you in and out of the paved drive as soon as we can.
• Rainy days will take longer, but we will get everyone safely to cars. People walking up will make the process harder. Please use the dismissal procedures in place.

All Pep Rallies will be in the High School gym except Homecoming week. High School pep rally normal start time will be 2:15 on Friday. One elementary class will be bused to the gym to attend each indoor scheduled pep rally. All students who travel on the bus to the gym MUST return on the bus to the elementary for dismissal. If you choose to have your child attend the pep rally and stay with you, please check them out in the office with Mrs. Beck before they leave for the pep rally so they can ride with you to the gym.

As the school year continues, we will start to see more sickness. Please follow these guidelines to help stop the spread of germs.

I am beyond thrilled to be back at school! I enjoy seeing all of my students, meeting our new friends, and getting to hear all about their summer.

One of my favorite things to do is eat lunch with all the kids. Next week, I will start pulling groups into a room we have off of the cafeteria so we can eat, visit, and get to know each other.

During September, we will look at who I am and what the school counselor does, review our character pillars: Safe, Respectful, and Responsible, and look at healthy coping skills we can use when we have all sorts of emotions.
