Thank you for a great kickoff to our Boosterthon fundraiser and to our PTO for organizing and delivering all of the prizes daily. They also provided lunch for our staff on Wednesday. We appreciate everyone's support. As of Friday morning, we had raised $32,141.98. We are getting very close to our goal of $50,000. Please watch our Facebook page and teacher communication to know the nightly challenges. Our Fun Run will be on Friday, September 27, during MI times.

Remember, our PBIS Student Store is open weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It will be in front of the gym and open from 7:30am-8:00am.

Important Reminders:
1. Monday is our PTO meeting at 8:30 am. This is a rescheduled date from last week.

2. Wednesday is an Early Release Day, students dismiss at 12pm.

3. Students new to NC public schools and Kindergarteners are required to have a NC Health Assessment completed in the last 12 months. If one is not on file by September 25, the student will not be able to attend school.

1. As you approach the school, please get in the turning lane near the main entrance and follow the directions given by the law enforcement officer. When you enter the campus, you will need to quickly choose a lane and you must stay in your selected lane.

2. If you are going to drop your child off – either lane is fine. (If you need to park, you must choose lane 1 as this will allow you to follow the arrows and then turn left to find a parking space. NEVER cross lanes of traffic once on campus!)

*Please note- for safety reasons, students and staff are the only people permitted to enter the building prior to 8:00am. (Kindergarten parents will receive specific guidance from their teacher on arrival procedures and Independence Day). Parents and guests may only enter the building prior to 8:00am with a confirmed appointment. In this event, the staff member will meet the parent/guest in the check-in area. Parents and guests must always present a picture id to the staff member on duty.

3. Children may be dropped off in the morning beginning at 7:25am in the designated area in the front of the school only. (Dropping students off in the bus lot or in any of the parking lots is not acceptable at any time.) Staff members and the student safety patrol are on duty to help direct campus traffic and unload children.

1. Parents will inform the classroom teacher at the beginning of the school year how their child will primarily get home each day.

2. At dismissal, students are escorted to the appropriate dismissal area. Parents who are in the pick-up line are always expected to remain in their vehicle. While on campus, we request that you observe the 5-mph speed limit. The use of cell phones or any other electronic device while in the pick-up / drop-offline is strictly prohibited. We are a tobacco free campus, and the use of tobacco products is prohibited.

3. Parents who choose to pick up their child from school, must display the PICK-UP CARD in the window on the driver’s side with the student’s name, grade, and teacher’s name for easy visibility. (Parents enter the campus using the bus entrance.) If the pick-up card is not displayed for any reason, the parent must park, come into the school, and present a picture ID for your child to be released. Your child will be released when it is convenient to do so as the dismissal procedure cannot be compromised. Staff members on duty are charged with the safety and well-being of each child.
