And now it's almost June...how does that happen?! A few items to note for the week:
~ As we approach the end of the school year, we wanted to inform you of some important changes and reminders regarding school access starting Monday, June 3.
Access Changes:
- Door #1 will be unavailable for use starting on Monday, June 3.
- Breakfast Students: Students who are going to breakfast should use door #12 (by Kindergarten) and walk down the K-2 hallway to the cafeteria.
- Office Visits: Parents who need to come to the office should park on the street and call the Washington office at 507-345-3059. The cafeteria door, door #3, will be the door that parents use if they need to come into our space. Parents: please do not park in the parking lot or in front of door #3. Staff can continue to park in the staff parking lot.
We encourage parents to limit trips inside the school during the last few days of the year if at all possible to ensure a smooth end-of-year process for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Your support is greatly appreciated as we work to make the end of this school year as smooth as possible.
~ SAVE THE DATE: Mark your calendar for an ALL-SCHOOL Spring Lake Pool Literacy Event on Sunday, June 16 from 6:15-7:45pm (see flyer below). We have rented the entire pool, including having the concession stand open, for that evening to celebrate our Wildcats at a fun summer literacy event. ALL Washington families are invited to attend. Parents/guardians must be present, as this is NOT a drop-off event. We know it's Father's Day...we are still hoping to see many folks at this awesome event. We can celebrate all the wonderful Washington dads. Should weather cause us to cancel, we will reschedule it for a future Sunday evening at some point in the summer.
~ Snack Cart: Each year, the PTO helps to financially support the snack cart for those students/families who are unable to pay the yearly snack cart fee. As we near year-end, we would gladly take donations to reduce the cost owed for this service (we are estimated to owe $3500). Should you wish to donate, please send your donation to the Washington office. Should you wish to ask families members to consider supporting this as well or make a donation in someone's name as a gift or something, you can use the graphic below to thank them.
~ Medications: Should your child have medications in the health office, please make a plan to pick these up by the end of the day on Thursday, June 6. Any medications not picked up by the end of the day on June 6th will be discarded.
As always, thank you for your support--it matters!
