PRINCIPAL’S PAWSE
It's the time of year when the children are very excited about the upcoming
holidays and break from school. We would appreciate your help in keeping
the children focused on learning and positive behavior!
We are still having difficulty with PARENTS not following the rules. When
parents park at the front of the school, we do not have enough parking
spaces for our teachers and they are getting into classes late. PLEASE use
the car ramp and parking spaces at the back of the school if you need to
walk your child in. In addition, if you do bring your child, please take
them to the supervised area (playground on nice days, indoor supervision
area on cold/rainy days). We're finding that other children are hanging
around in the hallway and not going to their supervised area when they see
a parent in the hallway.
Finally, please do not stand in the hallway or near the playground exits of
the K-2 playground. Our goal is to get the children lined up at the first
bell and have them in their seats by the second bell. If parents are
blocking the way, it delays the start of class. Sorry to "scold" the Moms
and Dads, but we REALLY need for you to set a good example for the children
by following the rules, too!
I look forward to seeing you all at the Holiday events on Tuesday evening.
The chorus and drama students have worked hard to put together an exciting
production!

CHANGE OF ADDRESS OR PHONE #
If your address or phone number has changed recently, please notify the
office as soon as possible, so that we may keep your child’s records up to
date and also have the correct emergency information. All address changes
require a new “PROOF OF RESIDENCY”. This can be a utility bill, phone
bill, mortgage bill, lease agreement, etc. (as long as it is something that
pertains to the home).
MOVING OVER THE HOLIDAYS?
We do know that during the holidays, families tend to relocate. If you are
planning to move over the holidays, please notify the school at least 2-3
days ahead of time so that the proper paperwork can be processed. If you
have any questions regarding this, please feel free to call the office at
878-8534.
UPCOMING EVENTS:
Please mark your calendar and plan to join us for these upcoming events!
Please note that the items with a P indicate that we will be seeking parent
