Happy Friday South Community!
Hope you all have a great weekend! We had another busy, full week at the South. The school practice a lockdown drill on Monday, caregivers and students participated in a math night and chorus is getting into full swing a month(ish) prior to their upcoming concert (please see flyer below). Our lost and found is getting VERY FULL! Please take a look or remind your child to take a look at the table in the lobby. The items will be on display until Thanksgiving break.
One big announcement is we have started to prepare for a dismissal change that will begin on Monday, November 27th. Grades 4 & 5 will have a new dismissal procedure starting 11/27. Grades 4 & 5 students will be dismissed from the lower blacktop. You may have noticed cones in the parking lot yesterday as we are fine-tuning our setup for dismissal. The change comes as we have seen the front of the school become too congested with walkers and bussers. Moving forward the only dismissals through the front of the building will be bus transportation. Caregivers will be able to walk right up to the gate of the lower playground and teachers will dismiss students from that location. If you pick up siblings and would like your older child to be dismissed from K/1 or 2/3 pick up locations please email Mrs. Fitzgerald at c_fitzgerald@stoughtonschools.org and this will be their new pick up location.
Winter concerts are coming up in December! Grades K-3 will have a winter concert on Friday, December 15th at 9am. Grades 4 & 5 will have a chorus and band concert on Wednesday, December 20th at 9 am. Please see the flyer below for additional information.
As a reminder next week is a short one: Early Release on November 22nd (12:20 dismissal) and Thanksgiving Break on November 23rd and 24th. We will have a brief update next Wednesday.
