Dear Parents and Guardians,

Highlights from this week...

🎃 Thank you to the PTO for hosting such fun fall parties! We loved seeing so many families at the costume parade, too.

🚜 Kindergarten enjoyed a great field trip to Lake Farm Park!

😁 Mrs. Bates returned from maternity leave! We are so happy she's back! Also, thank you to Ms. Veselko for doing a wonderful job as her sub. We're very lucky that she is staying with us for the remainder of the year to sub and tutor!

Coming up next week...

❤️ We are gearing up for our special Veterans Day events! Please check out the link to donate to our Field of Flags for Disabled American Veterans. We're halfway to our goal!

🩵 We can't wait to welcome veterans to school on Friday the 13th for our annual Veterans Day assembly!

🚗 SAFETY REMINDER - Please do not allow children to hang out of car windows in the pick up/drop off line. Thank you!

Thank you,

Mathew Prezioso

Principal, Munson Elementary School

• you can quickly and conveniently pay for student meals and any school fees online;
• you can access important forms and documents, including report cards;
• your child may participate in field trips off school property;
• our nurses can be notified of pre-existing health conditions, allergies, and any other health concerns your child may have!

HOW DO I COMPLETE THE ANNUAL UPDATE?

Step 1: Log in to Infinite Campus.

Step 2: Click the menu toolbar on the upper left corner, and click More.

Step 3: Click Online Registration.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

When your child comes to the clinic - whether for a sudden fever, an unexpected bump, a stomachache, or a myriad of other reasons - our priority is getting them comfortable and reaching you right away. Please complete the checklist below to make sure we can reach you as quickly as possible!

✅ Please take a moment to save the school and clinic phone numbers in your contacts! Both numbers are listed below.

✅ If you see a call coming in from the school during the day, please try to answer it or check your voicemail promptly.

✅ Please ensure that your child's Annual Update is completed in Infinite Campus, and double-check that your contact information is accurate.

✅ Have a back-up plan in case you are unable to pick your child up! Make sure any grandparent/neighbor/family friend that may be needed to pick up a sick child is listed as an emergency contact in Infinite Campus, too.

If you are unsure of how to do any of this, please reach out to us or to the office! We are happy to help. Thank you!

Mrs. Park and Mrs. Kolenich
