ERD Family Smore

OUR NEW CAR TAGS HAVE ARRIVED!

The new tags will be sent home soon, and once they have been sent home:

All old and temporary tags should be thrown away by the parent. Old tags will no longer be accepted.

The parent will get 2 tags for FREE

Any additional tags can be purchased at a cost of 1 for $3 or 2 for $5

Please be patient.... it's going to be a process. But it will be easier for the students, as there will be no more four-digit numbers to remember for car dismissal, and it may even cut down dismissal time overall because of fewer digits to call out, which would be a win for all. :-)

-Please send your child/ren to school with a water bottle every day. We have water filling stations coming soon!

-Due to federal guidelines surrounding the free breakfast and lunch program, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ACCEPT CUPCAKES, BIRTHDAY CAKES, ETC FOR STUDENTS' BIRTHDAYS. If a student brings cupcakes or cakes, we will keep them in the office and send them back home with them in the afternoon. There are items that can be sent for birthdays. Please see the Smart Snacks button near the bottom of the Smore to learn more.

-We are not a 100% peanut-free school, but if your child's teacher has conveyed to you that her/his classroom is peanut-free due to a student in the classroom with a peanut allergy, please respect the health of that child and refrain from sending peanut-containing foods to school with your child.
