Weekly Update 8/28

Good afternoon families! We are so excited to see our Tigers this week!! Staff have been hard at work getting classrooms ready and we just had a new sign installed out front! A few reminders for you today. I will also continue to share the Arrival and Dismissal procedures throughout the week to remind families of how things run.

Open House
We will be hosting an Open House on Monday August 28th from 4:00-5:30. You will be able to meet your child’s teacher and see their classroom!

Arrival Dismissal Procedures
Please see our website post on updated procedures for the upcoming year. It is crucial that families follow the procedures outlined to ensure safety for all students, staff, and families. We have made some slight changes to which doors grade level walkers will exit. Again, please take a moment to click the link and read the procedures.

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures 2023-2024

Please note that if you need to dismiss your child before the school day ends we will require an ID so please be sure to have one on you and inform any one who is on your list to dismiss to have their ID as well. We will not release students to anyone not listed as emergency contacts in our system unless you call ahead to inform us.

If you make changes to your child’s usual dismissal plan, please call the main office. You are free to also inform the teacher, but the main office maintains all notes to ensure students go home the correct way and teachers may not see your message until later.

Bus Routes
You can find the bus routes here:

Back Pack Donation
We were once again fortunate enough to receive a donation of backpacks for students through the generous efforts of the Knights of Columbus Council #5004. If your child is in need of a backpack filled with supplies, please see a staff member during the open house! We are so grateful for our friends at the Knights of Columbus for their continued generosity! Check out photos below:

Fall Caregiver Wellness Series
Learn how to support your scholar’s growth and wellness with a webinar & virtual opportunity with professionals! Informational workshops on two different evenings on what caregivers need to know about vaping and proactive caregiving for mental health needs.
