We appreciate you letting us know your child is with you before leaving with your child, especially out on the playground.
- Please send us a message via Procare if your child will be absent so we know not to expect him/her that day. The school does not notify us when kids are out sick, are participating in an after-school activity, or are taking the bus home. Please contact us if your student is not attending. Thank you!
- If your child is joining a before or after school activity, please notify us via Procare with the dates and times of the activity.
- Your child has the option to purchase breakfast before school and snacks and drinks after school with their school account. Money can be sent in to school with your child. Please write your child’s name and class (1A, 3C, etc.) on the envelope. If you know your child’s school ID number, you can include that as well. Please notify me if you do not give your child permission to purchase these items, or if you would like to limit what your child may purchase.
- Please send weather appropriate outdoor gear. We are outside every morning and every afternoon as the weather permits.
