Tomorrow is our last day of homecoming week and we will attend the pep rally as a school.. Please help us by letting your child stay with us, riding the bus to and from the high school. Remember that tomorrow's dress up day is Buff gear. Elementary students are not allowed to wear mums or garters to school, save them for the game. Speaking of the game, students must be accompanied by a parent and remain with a parent at all times. Students are not allowed to run around under the stands or on the cement area between the stands and the concession stand. Also, students must remain with their parents in the stands and are not allowed to stand in the walkways/aisle/or on the railing. We expect a large crowd and we want to be respectful to all fans there to watch the game. Tickets are sold at the gate - cash only.

If you would like to come learn some math activities/games you could do with your child at home, please join us next week for our lunch and learn. We will spend the first 15 minutes with just parents, and then we will have your student come join you to play the games you learn. We hope to see you there. https://forms.gle/AmLBYQ4ye5yqRq6MA

Students are invited to dress in dotted clothing and each class will be doing activities that go along with this celebration. If you haven't read the book yet, you can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg-aGFsOk1I

- Bus Parents - A Friendly Reminder - Starting Monday August 26th students will be required to have a bus tag to ride in the morning & the afternoon. Thank you for your cooperation!

Tomorrow we will begin enforcing the car placards be displayed throughout the car line. If you do not have one that the school sent, please check your child's folder and if not there, please pick up from the main office prior to 1:30 tomorrow, Thursday, August 15, 2024. In the mornings, parents must stop at the door. Our students transition to the start of the school day much easier when you go through the car line and let them walk in. If you feel you need to walk up, parents need to give hugs and kisses and let one of our staff walk them to their classrooms. If you need to visit with a teacher, please send them an email and they will contact your before/after school or during their conference period.
