🎮 ANTELOPE ALLSTARS FAMILY UPDATE

GAME ON – Everyone Belongs, Everyone Plays! 💙💛

Allstars, we are moving right along into September! We continue to be so grateful for the support of our families and for the hard work of our students and staff. It has been wonderful seeing students settling into routines, building friendships, and working hard in their classrooms.

One of my personal goals this year is to learn as many of our students' names as possible! With so many Allstars, it has definitely been a challenge, but it has also been one of my favorite goals. I love being able to greet students by name in the hallways, at lunch, and throughout the school. If I don't have your child's name down yet, I'm still working on it! ⭐

Thank you for trusting us and allowing us the privilege of educating, supporting, and caring for your students each day. We don't take that responsibility lightly, and we are grateful to partner with you.

Thank you for continuing to help us make Antelope a place where everyone belongs and everyone plays!

A Special Patriot Day Thank You ❤️🤍💙

We want to give a very special THANK YOU to Mrs. Kisner for the incredible amount of work, time, and passion she puts into our school programs. Mrs. Kisner and our students did an amazing job with our Patriot Day celebration! We are so grateful for the meaningful opportunities she creates for our Allstars and our community.

To the brave men and women who have chosen to serve and protect our community—thank you. Whether you serve as a first responder, member of the military, or in another role dedicated to the safety and well-being of others, please know:

We see you. We appreciate you. We are grateful for you. ❤️🤍💙

Thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and commitment to serving others. It was an honor to recognize and celebrate you with our Antelope Allstars! 🇺🇸⭐

💙💛 PTA Membership Drive — September 14–18!

It's time for our PTA Membership Drive! 🎉

📅 September 14–18

Our amazing Antelope PTA does so much to support our students, staff, families, and school, and we need your help growing our PTA family!

⭐ OUR GOAL: 100 PTA MEMBERSHIPS!

Remember, joining PTA does not mean you have to volunteer or attend every meeting. Your membership alone is a great way to support our school and the programs and opportunities PTA provides for our Allstars.

And we're making this a little more interesting... 👀

🎉 If we reach 100 PTA memberships, our STUDENTS will unlock a special surprise activity!

We're keeping the details a secret for now. 🤫 But don't worry—it's been approved by admin, and admin will be right there participating too! 😂

🎁 AND THERE ARE PRIZES!

Make sure you check out the PTA flyer below, because there are some REALLY, REALLY COOL prizes up for grabs during the membership drive! 👀🎉

Let's see if our Allstar community can hit 100 memberships by September 18 and unlock that surprise!

💙💛 Join PTA. Win some cool prizes. Support our Allstars. UNLOCK THE SURPRISE! ⭐

🌟 Before & After School Program — We’re Ready to Begin!

We have some exciting news! Our Before & After School Program will officially begin Monday, September 21! 🎉

Below, you will see introductions to the amazing staff members who will be working with our students in the program. We are so excited to welcome them to the Antelope Allstars team! 💙💛

📅 REQUIRED Parent Meeting

Thursday, September 17
⏰ 3:45–4:15 PM
📍 Antelope Elementary

If your child has been accepted into the Before & After School Program, please plan to attend this meeting. We will review important information, expectations, procedures, schedules, and answer questions before the program begins.

If you are unable to attend, you must contact us ahead of time to arrange another time to receive the information.

If you do not attend the meeting or make other arrangements with us, your child's spot may be forfeited and offered to a family on our waitlist.

📝 Still Interested?

If you are still interested in the Before & After School Program, or if your family's needs change during the year, please reach out to our office and complete an application.

Even if we don't currently have an opening, we are happy to add interested families to our waitlist as space becomes available.

We are so excited to get this program started and provide another opportunity to support our Allstars! ⭐

🚸 Safety Reminder

Please continue helping us keep everyone safe during arrival and dismissal.

Bikes, scooters, skateboards, and similar items must be walked while on school property. Students may begin riding once they are completely off school grounds.

We also ask families to continue being patient and cautious in our parking lots and pickup areas. Student safety is always more important than saving a few minutes.

🪪 Visitors & Volunteers

As a reminder, all visitors must enter through the main office and present a valid photo ID. Even if our staff knows you, we are required to follow the same safety procedures for everyone.

Visitors should have a visitor sticker visible while in the building.

Families who would like to volunteer in classrooms or attend field trips as volunteers must also complete the district-required background check before volunteering.

Thank you for helping us keep Antelope safe! 💙

⭐ GAME ON, ALLSTARS!

We appreciate our families and the incredible support you give our students, teachers, and school. Most of all, thank you for sharing your children with us and trusting us to be part of their learning and growth. We are honored to have them as Antelope Allstars.

🎮 Everyone Belongs. Everyone Plays. GAME ON! ⭐

Have a wonderful week, Allstars!

Principal | Antelope Elementary 💙💛
