END-OF-YEAR REMINDERS
* Report cards go home the last day of school, Thursday, June 4, 2015. Report cards will not be given out to students who still owe for lunch loans, lost/damaged textbooks or library books.
* Parents, please be alert to lost library books and/or textbooks that may turn up before school ends. Like everything else, the cost of replacing these books will be greater next year. Your help is appreciated.
* Please check the Lost & Found for lost articles of clothing. Our supply has grown truly large! Any articles not claimed by the end of this year will be given away to charity.
SIGN-IN/OUT PROCEDURES
As the year ends, here is a reminder that sign in/out procedures allow for better communication regarding the security of your child. Teachers will request that these procedures be followed for the accurate accounting of your child. We must have the signature of the adult bringing the child in late or signing the child out early. If you are having another adult pick up your child, we request you send us a note and a phone number where we can reach you if we have questions. Please remind these individuals that ID will be required before we release your child.
You are welcome to eat lunch with your child, however, we do ask that you sign in and wear a name tag. We have a special parent table for you to sit and enjoy your lunch together. Even as the year comes to an end, we want to remain focused and alert to make sure our students are safe. Thank you for your help in following and supporting these procedures.
