Town Center Back to School Guide

If you haven't had a chance to read over this year's Back to School Guide that was sent out last week, please do that before the first day of school. It includes information on the 1st day of school, visitors, arrival and dismissal procedures, lunches, etc.

Parking & Car Loop Reminders

Please remember that the front and side car-loop areas are for our families that are dropping off and picking up their child(ren). In order to help keep our lines moving, we ask that parents do not exit their vehicles in the car-loop lines. If your child requires additional assistance to get out of the car, please park in one of our parking spaces.

We also ask that all families use the designated crosswalks on both the front and side loop when walking across the parking lot. We have staff members at both arrival and dismissal in our crosswalk areas to support our kids in getting across the loop area safely.

If you are parking in one of our parking lots, please be mindful not to use the handicap spaces for parking or for pulling in to drop off learners unless you have a handicap vehicle designation. This allows these spots to be open for our families and learners that do require the use of the handicap locations to park.

If parking spots in our main two lots are full, please find another location. Parking along the back curbs of the lots is not an option, as it blocks in vehicles and makes it hard for people to get in and out of the area. You are welcome to utilize the Cozby library parking lot for overflow parking. Many of our parents choose to do this and then use the connecting sidewalk to walk over to our entrance.

Thank you for your help in keeping our kids safe!

Fall Scholastic Book Fair

Our Scholastic Book Fair will run Friday, Sept 2nd through Friday, Sept 9th, with a short sale the evening of Thursday, Sept 1st from 6-7:15 pm directly following Curriculum Night.

We hope you will stop by the school library before school, after school, or during lunch to see our newest selection of books, posters, and trinkets. Proceeds from the book fair will help our school purchase additional library books, author visits, and other needed library supplies.

As usual, we will need several volunteers to help run the cash registers. It is not complicated, and you can sign up here:

**A completed background check from this current school year is required to volunteer. We strongly encourage you to fill out one today using the large green link button below in the newsletter.

Families are welcome to join us at the book fair to shop, just be sure to stop in at the front office to print out a visitor's badge. Credit cards, cash, and checks are accepted, or you can go cashless by setting up a Scholastic eWallet account. The e-wallet allows you to deposit money online for your child(ren) to spend at school. After the fair, the remaining funds become a gift card balance that can be used online with Scholastic or to fund an eWallet for a future book fair.

When an adult makes a purchase they will be given the option to "round up their change." This extra amount is used to purchase books for students at our school who are unable to purchase books on their own, so the more we receive the more students we can help.

Also, be on the lookout for our Teacher Baskets. We've asked the teachers (and staff where applicable) to select their favorite books and put them into their labeled baskets. If you'd like to purchase one of these books for them, simply take it out of their basket, purchase it at a register, and have your child deliver it as a gift. They are always so appreciative of a growing classroom library.

Thank you again for your support and please let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you at the Book Fair!
