We know life is busy and schedules are tight, but taking an extra moment helps keep everyone safe on campus.

Now that the school year is underway, we’d like to remind families that PickUp Patrol is the program we use to share important daily information. Parents should use PickUp Patrol to report:

• Absences

• Late arrivals

• Any changes to dismissal plans
  
  

Using this program ensures that the school office, your child’s teacher, the health office, and the dismissal team all have the same, up-to-date information each day. Families can access PickUp Patrol through the mobile app or the website dashboard.

A consistent dismissal routine helps staff carry out plans effectively while also giving students confidence, independence, and a sense of security in their daily schedule.

If you need to dismiss your child early, please keep in mind that lunch and recess times may affect how smoothly we are able to bring your student to the office. Planning pick-ups outside of those times whenever possible helps ensure a smoother transition.

Below is a list of lunch times to help with planning and not that recess generally follows lunch:

• Kindergarten: 11:30 - 11:55

• Grade 1: 11:15 - 11:45

• Grade 2: 11:45 - 12:15

• Grade 3: 12:00 - 12:25

• Grade 4: 12:15 - 12:40

• Grade 5: 12:30 - 12:55

School Picture Day is scheduled for Tuesday, September 24th. Hard copies of order forms were sent home with students over the last several days.

Please note: ordering photos is optional, but every student will be photographed, and their photo will be added to their cumulative school file.

Families who wish to purchase photos may order using the form that was sent home, or place an order online at www.coffeepond.com.

*Students may ride the bus to and from their home address only*

If you should have questions or concerns regarding the location of your child’s stop, please follow the School Bus Resolution Protocol.

To minimize classroom disruptions, we've implemented a process for forgotten items:

• A cart will be located outside the MRE office door. Please leave the item(s) on the cart.
• Items must have your child's name clearly marked (note cards are available)
• Classroom teachers will receive email notifications about dropped-off items and students will have the opportunity to pick them up at a natural break time in the day
  
  

Here are a few common examples:

• Forgot water bottle? Water is available for all students
• Library books can be swapped out another time. Students will have the opportunity to preview books like they usually would, they just turn it back in at the end of library
• Homework? Can be brought in the next day

Thank you for supporting our students' learning and adaptability as well as keeping classroom disruptions to a minimum.
