Last year our Veterans Food Bank collection was so successful & so well received that we are doing it again this year in the lead up to Remembrance Day. Each TA has been assigned a category to try & get as much variety as possible. Please see below the list of items for each TA, we are just sending this list out a little early to give families the opportunity to pick up an item or two if they are able to. Please send items into school with your child between October 29th & November 6th. As always we appreciate all of your help Gator Families!

If a student needs to leave early, the office MUST hear from a parent/guardian. Please email or call the office and we will allow the student to sign out & meet you outside (or walk home).

If a student will arrive late, they are to sign in at the office. If we have been informed the student will be late, it will be an excused late. Without hearing from a parent, the student would be marked as unexcused.

If you have any questions, please ask the office.
