11/25 - Half Day of School – Dismissal at 11:15 – Thanksgiving Recess Begins
11/26 & 27 – No School – Happy Thanksgiving!
Attendance Reminder: If your student will be absent any additional days, please be sure to send him/her in to the office with a note in advance of the absence!
Lost and Found - Parents, please have your students check the Lost and Found for items that may belong to them. All unclaimed items will be donated to a charity during Christmas Break. Thank you.
Parking Lot Reminder Parents, please honor our parking lot guidelines regarding dismissal. No cars should enter the circle lot unless the student is somehow physically compromised. The loop out to Bradner is for school buses only. No cars or private vehicles should exit among or behind the buses. When ALL buses have cleared the loop out to Bradner, cars can then proceed to exit out to Bradner. We are concerned about the safety of all of our students. When everyone complies with the guidelines, we are all much safer. Please also advise any first-time siblings or others picking up your student.
