Safety - Traffic Talk
Student safety is of top concern. Please read carefully: Many parents are crossing with students at non-crosswalk locations on 5th Avenue during pick up and drop off. We need everyone to use designated crosswalks. When dropping off or picking up while driving - students must enter/exit in front of Building B onto the sidewalk. Students are walking through traffic in the car line, which is incredibly dangerous. Please pick up and drop off ONLY at the sidewalk in front of Building B when driving. Thank you!
Attendance
Absences are on the rise - please remember the importance of attendance. When a student misses a lesson, it is difficult to recreate that learning for the student. I know there are times when absences are unavoidable and students are too ill to come to school, but we greatly appreciate your consideration when scheduling appointments and vacations. Good attendance is an indicator of scholastic success.
Nov. 11th
Assembly + Reception
We will honor our Nation’s Veterans at 9:15 AM in Building B. Teachers sent home requests for names of family members who are Veterans, so they can be personally invited and honored during the assembly. A reception will follow with light refreshments in Building A gym.
