-If students are changing the way they go home one day, please email me or call the school. We want to make sure we get the students in the right spot at dismissal.
-We encourage all students to bring water bottles to drink in class. It helps to have them conveniently located in lockers. Please make sure they bring water and not juice. Students can have juice/other drinks at lunch but we prefer water in class. Spills make for a sticky mess and attract ants.
