We will be holding our next PTO meeting on Monday, February 10th at 4:30 in the Cardinal Elementary Collab Lab.
Parents or Grandparents are welcome to attend and pizza will be provided by the PTO. Students will receive a book coin for the book vending machine if they have a family member attend the meeting.
Meetings will be held on the second Monday of each month.
During our February meeting, we will be planning for the Special Person Dance. We will also be finalizing plans for CandyGram delivery.
Any and all are welcome!
The parking lots become quite slippery which can cause falls or cars sliding. On Friday, we saw quite a few people parking in the front lot and walking across to pick up. The front lot is for drive through pick ups only. There is no crossing guard. If you want to park and pick up students, please use the west lot and use the crossing guard to safely cross. There were also cars that were driving way too fast in the parking lots.
We have recently seen some cars passing the line and pulling up to the front. Please be courteous and wait your turn in the line.
Please observe the parking lot rules for the safety of the students, visitors, and staff.
Winter weather is here!
Please be sure to send your students dressed for the winter weather. Students will be outside for recess unless it is raining or the "feels like" temperature is less than 10 degrees.
Students should wear winter coats, snowpants, boots, mittens, and hats. We recommend labeling winter items so if they are lost they are easy to identify ad return to the owner.
If your family needs assistance with winter gear, please contact the office at 231-760-1700.
We currently have 165 students who have not had a Education Benefits Form completed for the school year. There was a link to this in the forms for the school year and forms were available at the Back to School Block Party.
Not having these forms completed could impact our ability to provide free breakfast and lunch in the future. This report is critical in determining money that our district receives from State and Federal grant programs like Title 1A, At-risk, and Title IIA, etc. It is also necessary to determine families' Summer EBT eligibility.
Please click this link to complete the form if you have not already done so.
