ALL PRO DADS
Calling ALL Ruth Cherry Dads!
We are so excited about another year of All Pro Dad Breakfasts for our students and Dads! We know that sometimes our Dads can't make it, so we also welcome Granddads, Uncles, Adult Siblings, Adult Cousins, and Moms!
Our All Pro Dad breakfasts are on Wednesday mornings this year. We open the doors at 6:45 am for each APD breakfast and meet in the Cherry cafeteria! We have donuts and waters or juice for students and Dads. We give Dads and students a chance to talk with each other and each month there is a character attribute video and discussion. We also have prizes!!!!

PARENT LUNCHES
Parents are able to come have lunch with their children on Mondays through Thursdays. To help us teach all the students our procedures first, we'll wait to start this until September 11th.
After the 11th, you're welcome to come have lunch with your child in the main hallway in front of the cafeteria. If you choose to come have lunch with your child, they can either buy their lunch or you can bring food - either way! We cannot have friends join in on the parent lunches.
BIRTHDAY CUPCAKES, TREATS
If you wish to bring cupcakes or other items to school to help your child celebrate a birthday, we can do that with a few restrictions to help us stay in compliance with food guidelines and allergy rules.
Items must be store bought with an ingredient label for our nurse to be able to check for allergies. We will deliver the food to their class, they can be dropped off at the office. Thank you for helping us stay in compliance!

How is your child getting home?
Be sure to let your child's teacher know how he or she is getting home from school. Bus - which bus? Car rider or walker? Daycare or YMCA?
During the year, any changes from the usual pickup routine need to be called to the front office by 2:30pm that day in order for us to notify your child's teacher in a timely manner. Please do not contact your teacher directly in case they don't have afternoon conference, have a sub that day, or happen to miss the message. Contacting the front office helps us make sure everyone involved with after school duty knows of the change.
