Message from Mrs. Schneid
Dear Families,
We’ve officially reached the one-month mark of the school year, and what a great start it has been! Thank you for your continued support in helping make our school such a positive place for our students.
Please be on the lookout for messages from teachers regarding upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences. Links will be sent to families through ClassDojo (and also via email/newsletters) on Monday, September 22. We ask that parents confirm their conference date by Friday, October 3.
A special thank-you to those who joined us for our Title I event last night focused on literacy at home. If you were unable to attend, we encourage you to sign up for the second session—more details will be shared soon.
A reminder to all that was shared at Parent Information Night by staff- DoJo is not our main means of communication. DoJo is a quick resource to share short messages , photos and reminders. All staff have been informed that messages regarding behavior, academics or longer in length are to be communicated via district email, phone calls or meetings. Therefore, if their message to you is short or states to check your email/VM, this is why. This is true for Administration too- we do not check messages on DoJo. Please email us via district email or call.
* all changes in dismissal or attendance MUST go through our Main Office.
We appreciate all you do to support your child’s learning and our school community. Take care, and thank you for partnering with us to make this year a success!
Warmly,
Mrs. Schneid
Ms. Frimel
Mr. Carnabuci
National IT Professional Day

The Infinite Campus Online Payment system is a payment processing
solution that allows you to submit food service and school-related fees 24/7
via the Parent Portal. Payments can be made for one child or the entire
household.
The Fees tool provides a list of all fees assigned to you. Fees may include things like a lab fee for a science course, a fee for a field trip or the cost of an athletic activity. Fees that are still owed and fees that were paid appear in this list, followed by the ongoing balance for all fees.
If you are unable to use the online payment system, please contact the
treasurer's office at (216) 898-8300.
