We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! It was a joy having all our students back at school this week, ready to learn and reconnect with their friends.
We are proud of how quickly the students transitioned back into their routines and embraced the week with enthusiasm and focus. It’s great to see their energy and dedication, even after a break.
As we move closer to the holiday season, we have several exciting activities and learning opportunities planned. Please keep an eye on our newsletters and FaceBook page for updates and to stay informed about all the happenings at our school.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in making our school a thriving community for learning and growth.
As a reminder please remember to send your students into school with their coats, hats and gloves as the weather is starting to turn colder as we enter the winter months. Please be sure to label your students coat so if it were to be lost we can get it back to your student. We have had quite a few students come to the office for coats during recess. If you need assistance with getting your child a coat this winter please reach out to our school social worker Chrissy at rolfesc@talawanda.org.
PICK UP
To help ensure students arrive at their correct dismissal location, we kindly ask that you contact the main office by 2:30 PM if there are any changes to your child’s dismissal plan. While we understand that emergencies can happen, we’ve noticed a significant increase in last-minute changes around 3:00 PM, which can cause confusion and delays. By notifying us by 2:30 PM, we can make sure your child receives a dismissal note and reaches the right spot after school. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
