The Weekly Update #1

Greetings Sharon Families. Thank you for the way you have welcomed and embraced me. I am thrilled to start our partnership together just like the Knights of the Round Table, as we embark on the journey of helping our students reach their dreams. I am filled with anticipation as we approach the first day of school. We are delighted to have students breathe life back into the building and are looking forward to having an amazing year!

If your child’s transportation changes, we MUST have the change in writing. You may either provide a written note OR submit the Daily Transportation Change Form on our school website by 12:30 PM. If we do not receive one of the two, we will send your child home in the usual manner. This is for the safety of your student. We will not accept transportation changes by phone.

If your child is going home with another student via car, you must complete the Transportation Change form. Please know that children are not allowed to ride home on a different bus. You will have to pick up your child & his/her playmate in the car rider line with each child’s assigned car rider # hanging in the window of your car.

You may access your child's SRP (Student Release Pass) in Parent Portal. SIS has worked to include the pass for Yellow and Red Tagged students for next school year. It is located under “Documents” in the parent portal. This pass is necessary to show the bus driver at the bus stop and you may share it with anyone you wish to receive your student if you can’t be at the bus stop.

We received some new books that are waiting to be cracked open and read! Mrs. Daniels has been doing some summer reading and learning and is looking forward to an awesome school year trying out new lessons with students and teachers. Be sure to read our August 2023 CASTLE Herald Newsletter to find out more about beginning of the year items such as Birthday Book Stars, volunteering, and general information you may find informative.
