Our tardy bell rings at 7:45 am each day. Your child needs to be in the building prior to this time! Students who are consistently late, even if it is a few minutes, are still missing valuable class time.
Just As A Reminder
Dear Parents/Guardians,
While field trips are always fun for the students, they are intended to be extensions of the classroom curriculum and are learning activities. This is the opportunity to participate with your child in an educational activity and to assist the classroom teacher. We request that parents not bring other siblings along on field trips, regardless of age. Take this opportunity to give special attention to your child and play a crucial role in making this an important learning activity for the children in the class. Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions.
