The Latest from L'Etoile
8/9/2024
Dear Families,
We hope you enjoy a wonderful last weekend before the new school year begins! We are so excited to welcome our students back on Monday, August 12th. It was fantastic seeing so many of you during our Meet and Greets this week.
As we look forward to the 2024-2025 school year, we want to remind you that our weekly newsletters will be packed with important information. We also hope you can join us for our Club Fest on Wednesday, August 14th, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the clubs being offered during the 1st Quarter and meet the sponsors. Plus, you’ll earn 1 service hour for attending!
As we get back into the school routine, we kindly ask for your patience during dismissal. One way you can help is by downloading the DASH PASS APP. When you drive onto campus, please open the app so your child can be queued and released by the teacher. Please remember that your child will not be automatically dismissed to the car line at dismissal time. Additionally, we ask that you pull up all the way when there is space in front of you. This will help reduce wait times for everyone in the car line.
At this time, elementary school class changes will not be made until after the 11-day count. We kindly ask for your patience during this period. If you still wish to request a change after the 11-day count, please email the administration. Please note that while we will consider your request, there are no guarantees. Middle School class changes will be made if an error was made. You can find the form below in our newsletter.
Reminders:
- Ensure you have a PowerSchool account and can log in.
- Complete the "Way Home" form in PowerSchool under the Forms tab.
- If transportation is needed and you haven't requested a bus, please fill out the Mid-Year Transportation form in PowerSchool.
- All students receive free breakfast and lunch this year.
- Please complete the National School Lunch Program form by clicking here.
