Snack Announcement: This year our recess/lunch period is from 11:35 - 12:25. Students will go to recess first and then lunch. Lunch will begin at 11:57. Since lunch is much later than the students are used to they are allowed to bring a morning snack with them and, of course, a water bottle.
SNACKS MUST BE NUT FREE, PACKED IN A SEPARATE BAG OR CONTAINER FROM THEIR LUNCH, and HEALTHY!
Attendance: Please make sure your child is coming to school on time. School begins at 8:30 and there is work to be done immediately. If they are coming in late it will become difficult for them to catch up. Also please try to schedule all appointments during after school hours (dentists, doctors, etc.) While I realize this might be difficult at times and necessary, please be cognizant of the strain that can put on the individual student and the class as we try to move through the curriculum.
