Carlock Updates
Talking Points Communication Tool
Unit 5 is excited to announce the introduction of a new communication tool designed to keep families informed and engaged. This tool will allow you to receive important updates directly through both text messages and emails from your child's school or teacher. We encourage you to remain opted in to this service, as it will ensure that you never miss out on essential information regarding school events, announcements, and other important notices. Your participation is key to staying connected with our school community!
The Winter Season
Is your child ready to embrace the chilly weather? 🧣❄️ It's essential that they bundle up in warm layers before heading out! We allow outdoor recess when the temperature reaches 20°F or higher, so let's make sure our little ones stay cozy and comfortable while they enjoy their playtime outside.
As the cold and flu season approaches, it's a great opportunity to remind your child about the importance of good hygiene. Encourage them to wash their hands frequently, especially after playing or using shared spaces. Additionally, remind them to cover their coughs and sneezes with a tissue to keep themselves and their friends healthy. Together, we can help our kids stay safe and well this season!
