The Beach Forecast #3

Greetings,

Parents we are excited to host the district Volleyball Playoffs this Tuesday starting at 4:45. These games should keep you on the edge of your seat so come out and cheer on our athletes. Due to the playoff's being at MBFS, we are postponing our SAC meeting to the 27th of this month to accommodate the extra visitors for parking. We appreciate your understanding with this change.

Our annual Fall Festival is fast approaching. The event will be held on our middle school field and the event runs from 5:30-8:30. Pre-purchasing wristbands is recommended. We are looking for parent volunteers to help run the event and meeting credit is provided.

Our next Kona Ice event is on Friday the 16th. This is a fundraising event that we use throughout the year to help support our PBIS and school beautification programs. Please pre-order by Wednesday. We strongly encourage only purchasing a small size especially for elementary students.

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.
