PERRINE FAMILIES PANTHER POST

Dear Families,

It was so great to see so many of you in the building during October. It was a busy month with Parent/Teacher conferences, Perrine Family Club Night, our PTO Halloween Dance, and our Halloween Parade. We look forward to seeing you at this month's events!

Please reach out to us if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

Ms. Snyder

A change to afterschool pickup. In an effort to improve campus safety, we are asking all parents to please wait on the center sidewalk area in front of the school if you are on campus prior to 3:00 dismissal. Please do not wait on the blacktops, near the East or West end exit doors, or over near the modulars. We also ask that parents do not enter the building through any doors except the main entrance during dismaissal. If you are in the building, you MUST check in at the office. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Our Eagle Eye security will be assisting with this change.

Thank you for checking in at the office when you are in the building or on the playground! We love to see you here!

Don't forget! School dismisses at 2:00 every Monday, and at 3:00, Tuesday through Friday.

Lost & Found: Please be sure to check the Lost & Found when your child is missing an item. We will be donating any items that remain in the Lost & Found before we leave for Winter Break.

Dear Families,

We want to thank you for your support in helping us keep our buses a safe and positive place for all students. Riding the bus is an extension of the school day, and following expectations is important to ensure the safety of every child on board.

When the driver has to make stops to address behaviors such as students standing on seats and high noise levels it not only delays the route but also creates safety concerns.

Please take a few minutes to remind your child of the following bus expectations:

• Remain seated at all times while the bus is moving.
  
  

• Keep voices at a safe, respectful level.
  
  

• Follow the driver’s instructions promptly.
  
  

• Treat others with kindness and use appropriate language at all times.

Working together, we can ensure that the our buses are a safe, respectful, and enjoyable ride for everyone. Thank you for reinforcing these expectations at home.

If your child has prescription medication that needs to be dispensed by the office during the day, please have your physician complete this form and turn it in as soon as possible. Medication cannot be dispensed by school personnel without this form. You are welcome to print off a copy yourself or you can get one at the office.

Tuesday - Friday: 8:00AM to 3:00PM

Breakfast opens at 7:30 AM daily and supervision on the playground begins at 7:40 AM.

The safety of our students is very important to us, please do not drop students off at school before 7:30 AM and be timely picking them up at the end of the day.

Attendance Matters

Studies show that students who miss even a few days of school each month are at far greater risk of academic failure and dropout than students who attend regularly.

*Students with chronic absences (students who miss 10% or more days school is in session) will receive attendance letters through email and communication from the Assistant Principal, Mr. Bauman. Possible recommendation to truancy court can take place for chronic absences, especially those that are not verified. Please let the school know when your child is going to be absent.

If you are not receiving school notices, please be sure that your current information is on file. We want to be sure that we can reach you when needed. If your information has changed, please reach out to the school, either your child's teacher or our school secretary. If you aren't sure if you have updated your information, please call Ms. Silva, the school secretary, an she can help you with this.
