A Word From Mrs. Loor
Happy Labor Day! As we close down the summer season and get back into gear for the school year, I want us to remember that it's okay to not have something scheduled every day for our children (they need downtime too); that slowing down and just being together as a family is wonderful in itself; that we don't have to wait until the next "break" to feel like we can take a break. I read a quote that struck a chord with me, "Live a life you don't need to take a vacation from." I know we all love a good vacation, but I work hard every day to maintain a balance for myself and for my family. I hope you do too!
Now onto business for Tuesday: Adult supervision begins at 8:05 AM. The students will enter the building at 8:15 AM. The doors close at 8:25 AM. If your child is late, you do not need to sign them in. Our arrival and dismissal entrances remain the same. Please have your children line up behind the cones with the teacher's names.
1st and 2nd grade - Main entrance doors
3rd grade - Library doors
4th grade - Warwick entrance doors
5th grade - Blacktop doors
Please review our morning drop-off procedures especially if you are new to the car line. Please remember to pull all the way up to the first black post and do not pull out of the car line between the cones. Students should be ready to exit as soon as you are stopped. Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Burr, Ms. Audino and I will be there to assist your children.
Thank you! See you on Tuesday!
With Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Loor
New Classroom Signs!
