Notes from the Heart

Happy FALL! I can’t believe we are already headed into October, if only the cooler weather would get here soon too! I want to thank all the families that attended our Pop Into Learning Curriculum night last week. It was great watching families navigate through their students’ day. Our grand prize winner for the evening won a set of 4 tickets to a Cy-Ridge football game! Several parents have begun coming to join their students for lunches. Please remember you can only bring food for your own student. We also ask that when you are joining us for lunch, please allow your student to go back to their homeroom table for the last 5 minutes of the lunch time, so they can rejoin their class and start preparing to go back to instruction. Did you see our new Attendance banner in the hallway showing our weekly attendance winning grade level?? Again, this year we are aiming for 95% or higher overall attendance. So far this year we are at 95.23%. Of course, if students are sick they need to stay home and get well, but if your student is healthy, we need them at school each day. I hope to see you this evening at our Kanga Spirit Night fundraiser. As always thank you for your continued support.

Francone Lunch Procedures

Visitors are welcome beginning Monday, Sept. 14, 2026. There may be later dates we are closed to visitors due to schedule changes. Parents should pay close attention to monthly newsletters for these dates.

Seating

Seating is limited for visitors. You may only sit with your child at the visitor table. Your child's friends must remain with the teacher.

Food

Parents can only provide food for their personal child. Other children should eat what their parent has sent for them or from the cafeteria. Once lunch ends, your child should throw away what they have not eaten. Please do not send them back to class with sodas, etc.

Arrival/Departure

Please remain in the front office until 5 minutes prior to your child's start of lunch. This helps with congestion at the visitor table. When the signal for the last 5 minutes of lunch is announced, please say your goodbyes, so that your student may return to their homeroom table to prepare for exiting directions from his/her teacher. Please turn in your "visitor sticker" to the front office when you depart.

Volunteer

Consider volunteering if your schedule allows!
