Weather Updates
Now that the weather has begun to change, we would like to inform you of our outdoor recess policies. We will continue to go outdoors as long as the "feels like/wind chill" temperature is above 12 degrees. Students are outside for 15 minutes. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather, including gloves and hats. If you would like to review the district guidlines, they can be found here:

Important Everyday Reminders
Reminders:
**If you have a new phone number or address, please make sure to let our office know as soon as possible. It is imperative that we are able to reach you in case of any emergency. Thank you so much!
**Drop off/Pickup If you are dropping your child off late, or picking them up early, please make sure you are not parking in the fire lane at the front of the building. This area is reserved for busses, and for emergency vehicles. Thank you!
**If you are changing your child's dismissal plan, please make sure all phone calls and messages are made prior to 2:00. It is very hard to ensure messages are getting received after 2:00.
**If you are dropping your child off in the morning, please know that our doors do not open until 8:25. All parent drop-offs must be done at Door B. Our front entrance is reserved for busses.
***Volunteers/Pop-Ins: We love having volunteers! Please make sure if you would like to volunteer, a background check must be on file. The form can be found here. Also, if you would like to "pop-in" on your student, the teacher must have a 24-hour notice. Thank you!

Notes from the Nurse

Please be sure that your student is well before sending them to school, we have had quite a few students getting off the bus and immediately running fevers or vomiting, by the time they get to the nurse they have spread their germs throughout the bus. There are a lot of viruses going around right now, Norovirus, Influenza, COVID and RSV, so please do not send your child to school sick. Thank you.
