PICTURES FOR THE YEARBOOK – if you would like pictures of your classroom activities to be included in the yearbook please email them to Ms. Karla Soto by Monday, March 31.

END-OF-SCHOOL-DAY PICK UP: We have had several incidents of students not being picked up on time at the end of the school day. This results in a very long day for your child, and it causes us a problem in terms of supervision.

***PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOUR CHILD SHOULD BE PICKED UP BY 3:30 P.M. unless s/he is in Choir, Sports, or staying with a teacher for tutoring or detention.

** When picking your child up, please do not park in the yellow-lined areas in front of the Art Room, Computer Lab, Office and pick up area. Our teachers are working hard for dismissal to run smoothly and safely, and your cooperation is much needed.

CHOIR PARENTS:  Choir practice ends at 4:00 p.m. ***If your child is involved in the Choir, s/he should be picked up by 4:15 p.m. at the latest. ***

AFTER-SCHOOL SPORTS:  If your child is involved in the After-School Sports program with Mr. Eric, you need to pick your child up promptly at 5:00 p.m.

For security reasons, we would like for all students and staff to be off the campus by 5:10 p.m. each day.

If you have any questions, please see or contact Ms. Giles.

EARLY CHILDHOOD AND ELEMENTARY READ-A-THON – This is week four of the Early Childhood and Elementary READ – A – THON for grades K-5. Please remind your child(ren) to read as much as they can, and to record their books in the Reading Log that was provided.
