Disney’s amazing 6th graders engaged in learning about countries around the world through reading, writing, speaking, listening, and eating! Students researched and presented their findings about a country that captured their interest and designed their learning on a pizza box donated from our local Little Caesars. To recognize their hard work and effort throughout this world geography unit, we concluded with an international celebration where families both volunteered and donated delicious foods from around the globe! Thank YOU to everyone that got involved to create an amazing spread of diverse foods and made this possible!

At this time, families are able to request to change the learning mode for their student(s) for the second semester of the 2024-2025 school year. Students who are currently attending school in-person can switch to virtual, and students who are enrolled in virtual can switch to in-person. If you do not wish to switch your child’s learning mode, no action is necessary.

Requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Submitting the form linked below does not guarantee a request will be granted. Requests will be reviewed by building and district leadership and the parent/guardian will be notified. If approved, the change will be effective for the second semester (January 6, 2025 - June 6, 2025).

Please carefully consider this semester-long commitment before submitting this application, as requests to change during the second semester will not be granted. However, the District may change your child’s learning mode if appropriate academic progress is not met throughout the semester.

This application will close on December 16th. You will be notified by the District of your child’s application status and specific information will be provided about the switch.

If you are interested in changing your child’s learning mode for the second semester, please fill out this application. You will need to submit one request for each student.

Please be sure to send your child to school dressed for the weather each day. Before we know it, students will start needing warm coats, gloves, hats, scarves, and/or boots daily throughout the fall/winter.

Please take time to label each and every item- because our lost and found gets bombarded with lost winter accessories throughout the season

Please note that, per Board Policy, we will be having outdoor morning lineup and heading outdoors for our 20 minute recess(es) if the windchill is 10+ degrees.

Time outdoors is time well spent for kids, in all seasons

We all know that the Disney parking lot is challenging at times, especially during the colder months. We understand that our dismissal can be stressful and intense with the high volume of car pickup students. From time to time it is important to review our procedures. If we all follow our parking lot procedures and practice patience, we will be able to quickly exit everyone safely. Below are a few important reminders:

• For everyone's safety, please try to utilize the pickup line whenever possible to avoid walking through traffic in the parking lot.
• Please refrain from parking anywhere other than designated parking spaces, this includes, parking in handicapped parking spots unless your handicap parking pass is properly displayed.
• Please do not pull through the parking spaces to exit. Those parking should back out of parking spaces and utilize the thru traffic line to exit the parking lot.
• Please turn right on Kelly when exiting the parking lot for safety and to help assist with traffic flow.

• The driveway in the front of the school is for bus parking, emergency vehicles, and exiting traffic only. Please do not park or drop-off/pick-up students in the bus loop. Families may not park on Kelly and walk through the bus driveway at dismissal.
• Smoking and pets are not permitted on school grounds. Please leave your pets at home for the safety and comfort of all of our students and families.

Thank you for your support in keeping our community safe in our parking lots.

We want to partner with our families to make our school a safe, healthy and welcoming environment for your students. Make sure to send your child to school if they are generally healthy and able to participate in their usual day-to-day activities. Avoid keeping children at home unless they are too sick to participate. We have put together this helpful chart of when to keep your child home and when they can return to school for common illnesses
