Back to School Reminders:
-Hats and Hoods are not to be worn in the building by students
-Cell phones, watches, and any other device that can be used for communication must be turned off and in the student's bookbag during the school day.
-Toys from home should remain at home (including basketballs, footballs, trading cards, etc.)
-We know that traffic has been hard in the mornings, so we haven't been doing tardies. Once the traffic smooths out, students arriving after 7:20 must be signed in.
-Transportation changes need to be made by a handwritten note or a phone call to the school. Please do not send them via email or Rooms, as teachers might not have a chance to check them before the end of the day.
-If you are late picking up, there will be a late fee charged after the first time.
-You may bring in birthday treats. We ask that they be store-bought with the ingredient labels. No balloons or flowers please :)
-Please do not drop students off in the mornings before 6:50. There is no adult supervision until 6:50 and we want all of our students to be safe.
Thank you for helping us to have a great start to the school year! Your students are AMAZING, and we are so excited to have them!!
