Chisholm Update
August 30, 2024
Greetings Chisholm Families!
Welcome November! It was a fun and busy week we've just concluded with Red Ribbon dress up days, the Storybook Parade, and Halloween. I think everyone was a little tired this morning when we gathered for Charge Up, but we jumped into the day and had some beautiful weather when the classes got outside for recess.
Turkey Bing, November 15, New Covenant Church - We hope you are able to join us for Turkey Bingo on the 15th from 5:30 to 7:30. Doors will open at 5:00 and the bingo games will begin at 5:30 This event will be held at New Covenant Church located at 2700 S. Boulevard, Edmond OK 73013. This event is also a canned good food drive, so we are asking that you bring a canned good food item for each person, which will be exchanged for a bingo card.

The Edmond Creative, Volume 13 - November '24
Thank you for your help and support during the past week and especially with parties on Thursday. It definitely makes for a busy week with lots of moving parts, but the students love it and once again, it was a great success. Have a great weekend! Don't forget to set your clocks back Saturday with Daylight Savings!

Dismissal Reminders
At the end of the day, we ask that early checkouts happen before 3:00. If your student is a 33rd Street Walker, they should live in Old Farm or Thornbrook. If your student is a Spring Hill Walker, they should live in the Springhill Neighborhood or the subsequent neighborhoods that are too close to receive bus transportation. Students that ride a bus will load from the gym once their bus arrives at school. If you need specifics on bus numbers and times please click this link, which will ask you to fill out your address.
Car Riders will need to use the Red Hangtag, which was given out at Meet the Teacher. (If you were unable to attend Meet the Teacher, our office is open 8-3:30 on Wednesday August 14.) Please be sure to make sure this tag is visible to the person out front entering the number by our marquee. Once their number has been entered, students will come out of the building by the first grade hallway and be positioned by one of the concrete bollards numbered 1-6 (please be sure to stay out far enough aways from the bollards so your car door doesn't get dinged). If you don't have your hangtag, you will need to pull in and check your student out from the office. There is a button below that goes through the Car Rider procedures.
