Reminders
*Please check the weather and dress your child appropriately. We will still
continue to go outside (weather permitting). All jackets, hats, gloves etc
should be labeled with the student’s name, as they can easily get lost or
switched with other students’ belongings.
*If your child is wearing rain/snow boots, they have to bring a change of
regular shoes they can wear in the classroom.
*Make sure your child always has a change of clothes at school.
*Preschoolers should come to school in full uniform daily (unless otherwise
notified). This includes only white undershirt.
*Please update your contact info with the office.
*Please continue reading every night,
you’re doing a great job! Keep in mind that if you don’t read or if you don’t
bring your folder/reading log, you will get a highlight for that day.
*Keep in mind that the school
documents reasons for tardies and absences, so please inform a teacher the
reason for your child’s tardies and absences.
