The Snow Forecast #1

Dear Families,

We are excited to welcome you to Mary Snow for the 2026-2027 school year! There will be an Open House on Thursday, August 27 from 5:00-6:00 pm. Everyone is invited to come to meet your teacher, walk the building, and see friends.

Mrs. Powell's Open House will be Wednesday, August 26 at 4:00 (for her class only).

We will then welcome all students back to begin the school year on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, starting at 8:40am. The end of day bell will ring at 2:55 with students who are picked up and walking dismissed first and then bus students to follow.

Please be aware that bus students generally run later than usual the first few days of school while drivers get used to new routes and drop off points.

Pick Up & Drop Off Procedures

No drop offs until 8:40- there will be no staff on duty.
Students should not be on the playground (in the gated area) until there are duty teachers outside (they have bright yellow vests on).
When a car gets to the parking lot, please "squish" your car up toward the first row of parked cars so the buses can pass to the right of you.
Pull up to the coned area to drop off your student(s) using the middle lane only (see picture).
Please do not drop your child off in any other place than the coned area. We do not want students crossing any areas with traffic.
Once to the cones, pull all the way to the car in front of you to make drop off and pick up quicker.
Pick up at the end of the day works the same.

We have crossing guards at the Mary Snow Pencil, Broadway, Center, and Stillwater.

Food Allergy Awareness

As we begin the school year, please remember that food allergies can be serious and, in some cases, life-threatening. Our school community plays an important role in keeping students with food allergies safe.

Please be especially mindful of foods containing nuts, seeds, and sesame, including items such as granola bars, baked goods, hummus, breads, crackers, and other packaged foods. Always check ingredient labels carefully, and please do not share food with others at school.

Thank you for helping us create a safe, inclusive environment for all students. If you have questions about food allergies or your child’s health needs at school, please reach out to the school nurse.
