Dear Families,

We’re off to a wonderful start to the new school year! It was such a joy to welcome our students back last week—and oh my, how much they’ve grown over the summer!

A quick reminder: please return your Back-to-School paperwork as soon as possible, and don’t forget to include a current email address. This helps us keep you informed about important updates and events throughout the year.

This Friday at 1:00 p.m. in the gym, we’ll kick off our first fundraiser of the year with Believe Kids! Everyone is welcome to attend, and I hope to see you there. Be on the lookout for a flyer coming home this week, along with an email link so you can get started early. Students will have plenty of opportunities to earn fun prizes, and there will be lots of great items to purchase!

Below are a few reminders to help us stay on the right track.

Warmly,

Mrs. Stoughton

Reminders:

Attendance Matters
Every day counts! Regular attendance is key to student success. If your child needs to miss school, remember that we offer Independent Study for up to 15 days per year. This allows students to make up work and stay on track. Please call the office to learn how your child can participate.

Drop-Off Procedures

• Preschool, TK, and Kindergarten: Students may be dropped off directly at their classrooms beginning at 7:45 a.m.
  
  

• Grades 1–6: Students should line up with their class in front of the office.
  
  

• Breakfast: The cafeteria opens at 7:30 a.m. for all students.
  
  

Pick-Up Procedures

• Preschool, TK, and Kindergarten: Students must be picked up at their classrooms.
  
  

• Grades 1–6: Students must be picked up in front of the school. For safety reasons, please do not wait on the playground or outside the classrooms. Teachers will walk students down for dismissal.
