The Beach Forecast #3

Greetings,

It is time for our next and newest sport to middle school - Soccer. We will begin collecting paperwork from November 2-12. All paperwork can be found on our school website under athletics. Once there, click on your sport for the forms. If you student has previously tried out or played a sport with us this year, all they will need to do is sign a form with Mrs. Ivy indicating this. As always, late paperwork is not accepted.

Thank you to our Kindergarten teachers for organizing one of our favorites, and certainly the cutest, events of the year - our character parade. This was fabulous and a great time for all. Also, thanks to our parent volunteers, Mrs. Lake and PTSA for putting together our C2C breakfast. The pajamas only added to the celebration.

We have two home basketball games this week. One on the 3rd followed by one on the 4th. Games start at 4:45 and are $3 and you can find the ticket link on our website.

Parents, a friendly reminder. We are seeing creative hairstyles in both elementary and middle. A reminder that hair color must be natural. Streaks, tinsel, under color and highlights that are not natural will result in infractions and be expected to change immediately.

Our NJHS and leadership students will be doing a canned food drive this November. We will collect canned and nonperishable food items from November 6th-16th. We love giving back to support our community.

We always have a great turn out for Great American Teach In. If you are interested in being a guest speaker, even if for a portion of the day, please reach out to Mrs. Lake at: lakes@pcsb.org

Let’s keep this special tradition going! 🌊

Drop off begins at 7:15. Students may not exit their car until this time. We ask everyone to pull up all the way to avoid gaps in the line and have an efficient and timely process.

Elementary school:

• Elementary students will exit their vehicle in the designated areas
• Students will head to the covered court area and remain supervised until class begins
• If they wish to eat breakfast, there will be students to escort them to the elementary cafe
• If you have a student in elementary and middle, you may choose either line to use and they may walk to their designated areas

Middle school:

• Students may exit their vehicle from the covered walkway by the middle school office all the way to the cafeteria.
• Students will enter the cafeteria and remail in their until the bell rings to release to class at 7:38.
• Students that want breakfast will enter the elementary cafe to eat and then head to the middle school cafe till classes begin.

Pick Up for elementary begins at 1:55 and 2:15 for middle. Parents, we ask that you not arrive prior to 30 minutes of dismissal. Arriving too early blocks the flow of traffic for visitors, deliveries and early dismissal for appointments.

Early release for appointments: Parents, we understand that students need to be released early from time to time for appointments. We ask that if you need to pick up your student, please arrive prior to 30 minutes from dismissal (ex: elementary by 1:25, middle by 1:45). This will allow you to utilize the carline without issue.
