Wow! The second week of school is already over. By now, we have really started getting into our lessons, and students are adhering to the routines and procedures that the adults have taught them. Next week, we begin our first round of state testing. Please be sure you know when your child will be testing and ensure that they are at school by 8:45 a.m. You will soon receive the first Quarterly Challenge from your child's teacher. This challenge incorporates content that your child will learn in this marking period and will help you to better understand what they are learning. Completion of the challenge is optional, but strongly recommended. The signed challenge form and drawn/written responses to the essential questions are due on October 9. Students who complete the challenge will enjoy a recess reward party on October 16. Keep in mind that attendance is part of the challenge - no more than three tardies, early departures, or absences for the whole marking period. We hope you enjoy working with your student and learning along with them! |

If dismissal is delayed due to lightning, you will receive a notification via ParentSquare and text. We are required to delay dismissal for 30 minutes for every lightning strike within six miles of the school. Often, the delay is extended due to continued strikes. We are not permitted to dismiss students from the building in these conditions. Approved adults can pick up their student from the door next to the front office by presenting a car rider tag. Remain in your car and drive down the hill until you reach the loading area. Exit your vehicle and walk up to the door. If you do not have a car rider tag, you may enter the front office and present a valid form of identification. Bus riders will not be permitted to board the bus until the threat of lightning has passed. We understand that this is a slow process; however, it is required to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Updates will be sent out periodically to keep you informed. Thank you for your understanding! |
