Managing Student Attendance.

If you would like to pick up your son/daughter early for an appointment, please pick up your child before 2:45PM. After 2:45PM, your child will be asked to wait with the other walkers, bus and car riders in his/her classroom, to ensure a safe and efficient dismissal for everyone.

Thank you!

To volunteer at a class party or chaperone a field trip, your clearances must be up-to-date.

If your clearances are current, upload them into the App Garden - Volunteer Tracker. If your clearances have expired, or you need to begin the clearance process, click on the Required Documents for the directions. For more information, consult the Human Resources Volunteer Required Paperwork webpage.

During physical activity, it is important that students wear proper footwear. Loose fitting shoes (i.e. crocs, moccasins, slippers, etc.) create safety challenges during recess and physical education class. For example, during kick ball at recess, crocs have flown off and we have had a few toe injuries during PE.

If your child has physical education class, or would like to play an active recess game, please ensure that they are wearing sneakers. Thank you!

Going into the winter season...

If there is inclement weather in our forecast, then there may be a 2-hour delay. Should that occur, please plan for the following schedule.

• Grades 1-6: 10:35AM - 3:15PM
• AM Kindergarten: 10:35AM - 12:20PM
• PM Kindergarten: 1:30PM-3:15PM

Do you have a special talent or skill you’d like to share? Maybe you play an instrument, sing, dance, hula hoop, cheer, tell jokes, or perform magic tricks. Here’s your opportunity to display what makes you special for your classmates and friends!

We can’t wait to see you shine! Look for the sign up in the January 2nd Gazette.

Save the date: evening performance on March 1st

Families can access the online application for Free & Reduced Meals by clicking here. The application must be submitted each year AND for each child. If your child received free or reduced lunch last year, you must re-apply for the 23-24 school year.

A big thanks to the Gayman families who supported last week’s KCC event, through donations or volunteering! Not only did we collect an incredible amount of small toys and shoes for children in Honduras, we also made well over 100 dog and cat toys to split between the SPCA in Bucks and Montgomery county. That’s a lot of happy animals for the holidays! Enjoy the December break and please watch the Gazette for the next KCC signup, which will be in honor of MLK Jr. National Day of Service.

We want our Teachers & Staff to enjoy some Cookies, Candy, and Cocoa leading up to the Holiday break! We ask that all cookies, bars, and candy be dropped off to the main office on 12/20 by 9am. Click here to donate Cookies or Candy!
