Parents and Guardians,


School starts tomorrow and we are SO EXCITED!!!

[Headlines & Features]THANK YOU in advance for your patience in the afternoon pick up line.  We anticipate it will be slow moving the first week or two.  I apologize for this inconvenience.  Car tags will be coming home this week.  For the first couple days until you receive a car tag, please have a sign ready with your child's name and grade in large writing.  It will speed up loading your student in the line.  Additionally, we will continue to use the PikMyKid program to dismiss students from class. Please help us make it better by downloading the PikMyKid app and using it to announce your child.  Announcing the child notifies the teacher that you are at school so your student can be released from class for pick up.  The directions for the download are attached.


Lunch and breakfast are free for all elementary students.  Both are available in the cafeteria each day.  We encourage parents, if they pack their student's own lunch, to pack food that can be opened without assistance.

At this point, we are not permitting visitors on campus.  Kindergarten - 5th grade parents will not be permitted to walk students through the black gates to class.  Parents will also not be permitted to eat lunch with students in the cafeteria.  However, our campus is open to volunteers in the classroom, media center, and PTO is always looking for some extra hands. Please reach out to your child's teacher or to our PTO president, Nicole Trafton [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> , if you are interested in volunteering on campus this year.  If you want to volunteer or attend field trips with your student, please complete the volunteer application found here: https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fvolunteers.leonschools.net%2f&c=E,1,LfXXlmGs7IwqJmXNzHEkMTln72UtEGS1Axcyi9Z3ujLvUoG3W941v7XtwDLwcTA3bf2jDPlCaEj_qj5DI8-HCUACfoiXpsn_TvEPS2m2FNjbLNMuO-TTDmwbr8cEIA,,&typo=1<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvolunteers.leonschools.net%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7C0dd89d879bda4f22113c08da772df5d6%7C69292adba72a4537aa24d67a6f5642bc%7C0%7C0%7C637953336773323102%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=cI%2B7Ev0aOGqCljpaAy%2BX%2Frhl0r%2BdG%2B%2Bcxn%2Bl9MSep3Q%3D&reserved=0> When you are on campus, you must sign in the front  office and your sticker badge must be visible at all times.

Please see reminders about medications in the clinic:

  *   All medications must be brought to the clinic by a parent or guardian.  Do not send medication to school with your child.
  *   A medication permission form must be completed by a parent or guardian for each medication.
  *   All medication must be in the original container and not expired.
  *   If your child requires emergency medication, a new medical action plan must be completed by your child's physician and MUST accompany the medication before it can be accepted in the clinic.  Last year's plan will not be accepted.
  *   Here is the link to medical plans if you still need to complete them: https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fleon.floridahealth.gov%2fprograms-and-services%2fclinical-and-nutrition-services%2fschool-health%2fschool-health-parent-forms%2findex.html&c=E,1,GoApXQZhVPgVvbU-2atYxGKPW9fG-mplE2TKyvFQlEdwbQd0EpYbfSjnw7vZ7Iy2cwRw6viZ4uT6jvj_FC26Se-pLnbDGIupbns51b6itIyz&typo=1<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flinkprotect.cudasvc.com%2Furl%3Fa%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252fleon.floridahealth.gov%252fprograms-and-services%252fclinical-and-nutrition-services%252fschool-health%252fschool-health-parent-forms%252findex.html%26c%3DE%2C1%2CfdxfweD5y0wQ1Ecy9CqL2ry0MU3bjDd6D3YOiRGn8-crw1OlLzMLgALT3HgN28KXebVuh-mN1MJ_Mgkezb3OrT8V4XGYNalt--gsPpGk_S3LfA%2C%2C%26typo%3D1&data=05%7C01%7C%7C0dd89d879bda4f22113c08da772df5d6%7C69292adba72a4537aa24d67a6f5642bc%7C0%7C0%7C637953336773323102%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=LdvFxUe4qjrx7kPqlqQuUoStNY59XWRBJos7zbzawZc%3D&reserved=0>

Please label your child's water bottle, backpack, jacket, and lunchbox.

We can't wait to dive into the 2022-2023 school year!  Happy New School Year!
