Updates and Important Reminders from Mr. Kirst...
Thank you for reading our weekly newsletter! Stay tuned each week with important updates, event reminders, school highlights and more...
* What a great first week of school! Our staff and students worked hard all week and we appreciate the opportunity to teach your student. Shout-out to all families in the morning, we had very few tardies which allows us to start our learning day at 8am without disruptions. Have a wonderful three day weekend and thank you for reading the following...
- Effective Tuesday (Week 2)...
- We ask that parents utilize the school bus, drop their child off via car-rider or walk their student to the main entrance. Near the main entrance, staff will be available if your child needs assistance getting into the school building and to their classroom. We do all this to maintain security and to start our learning day promptly at 8am.
- Students arriving between 7:30 and 7:45 will be directed to the Cafeteria. At 7:45am students will be released to their classrooms.
- Questions? Please contact Mr. Kirst or Officer Owen.
