Good afternoon!

I sure am glad to be back into a routine. It is challenging for the children at this time of year to be rested and ready to learn. Lots of sleep helps them to be their best each day (and lots of rest for me too!)

These next few weeks we are learning more about each other and ourselves which goes along with our social Studies outcomes. We will be exploring our names, starting to print them, sorting by first letter and building them with different items.

We have been practicing our fire drill and getting really good. We will have our first whole school drill this week.

Please remember when you are dropping your children off in the morning to let your child out near the metal barriers in the drop off loop. Parents are NOT permitted to park in the staff parking lot. Also if you are dropping your child off in the morning, you need to drop them off in the lobby. If you need to come down to the classroom, you need to sign in at the office and have a tag before coming down. After school if you are picking up your child, you need to wait in the lobby. Parents are NOT permitted in the bus loop. Make sure that you have contact with me before taking your child. If someone else is picking up your child please inform them of this routine as well.

We will have Meet the Staff night on Thursday September 12 at 6:00pm and a second round at 6:25 to accommodate parents with two children in the school.

Hot Lunch orders will begin on Monday September 16. I will send information to register tomorrow.

If you have not sent back your paperwork for your child (information, early closure, etc) please send it back tomorrow.

Our school photos will be on Monday September 16. We do not know what time they will happen just the date.

I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday evening! Kelley
