MORNING DROP-OFF ANNOUNCEMENT


This letter is to remind you that students are not permitted to be dropped off in the morning prior to 8:30am.  Adult supervision is not provided and students will not be permitted to enter the elementary building until then.  It is required that your child remain in your car until the teachers are at their designated stations.

Once the adults are stationed at their assigned locations, and the students can safely cross from the parking lot to the sidewalk, the students will be permitted to proceed to the elementary building.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.  The safety of all students is our utmost priority.

Dear Elementary School Parents/Guardians:

Please be advised that the calendar in the parent handbook is incorrect (Grades 1-5 the handbook is in your child's assignment book, Kindergarten students received a hard copy of the parent handbook).

The "no school/holiday" dates state Thursday, Nov. 2, 2012 through Monday, Nov. 26, 2012.  THIS IS INCORRECT.  The "no school/holiday" dates should be Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012 through Monday, Nov. 26, 2012. We are sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

Thank you,

Travis Barta
K-8 Principal

Courtney Anderson
K-8 Assistant Principal
