A special note to his dad! ♥️
We had another great week!
Several families have asked how they can help.
After all the rain the playground is expected to be messy.
Dry shoes are very helpful so that the wet boots/shoes can go in your child's locker.
This helps keep our carpets dry & clean.
Your child is welcome to keep a second pair of shoes here at school so they do not have to be carried home each day.
It would also be greatly appreciated if you could visit PowerSchool and check to be sure you have entered an emergency contact other than the parent information.
We will always contact parents first, but really wish to have a separate contact when you can not be reached, thanks!
Coming soon in October ... our first field trip! 🚌
If you think you may wish to volunteer as a chaperone this year on one of our field trips, please visit our district website to begin the steps to becoming a volunteer.
Coming Up this week:
Monday: Celebrating our second class birthday! 🎉
