I understand that sometimes it is last minute, but whenever possible, please plan ahead in order to reduce the need to call the office during the busy dismissal period. It is often very difficult for office staff to reach us in time to make the needed change. Thanks for understanding. **    __A Note About Lunch With Your Child __ __﻿ __It's a nice treat to have parents join students for lunch at school.

// PE Reminder //
Students must wear tennis shoes and sneakers with shoelaces or Velcro in order to participate in PE. Tennis shoes and sneakers without laces or Velcro do not provide enough support during some activities. For your child’s safety, students who do not wear the proper shoes will sit out during PE class resulting in points being taken off for participation and possibly effecting the overall Physical Education grade.

=From the Principal's Desk:= **__ Instructional Time Policy: __** We prioritize and value instructional time and need every minute to provide students quality instruction. For that reason, we ask that you ensure your child arrives at school on time and that you not check a student out early unless it is an emergency or for a scheduled appointment. **__Our office staff will not check students out between 3:20-3:45__**, as teachers will be completing important end of the day closing activities. We ask that you respect this policy, as it is to ensure we are maximizing instructional time for the benefit of your child.

It can become chaotic while calling carpool numbers so to ensure the safety of our students being picked up by the correct parent/guardians, we must enforce this policy. Parents must go through our carpool line for pick-up. If you do not have a carpool number, we will call the students name.
