Reading Month Info:

Please make sure you look in your child’s backpack as there should have been information about Reading Month sent home today. This information includes a reading month calendar, incentives and instructions about the reading logs. We are also having participants have a chance for a bike raffle at the end of the month and a chance to receive free South Bend Cub tickets for students. Please click on the following link for reading month documents that were sent home today as we have a dress up day on Monday!

Reading Month Calendar

OUTSIDE RECESS: Please dress your student appropriately for the cold weather. It is our district policy to go outside for recess unless the temp is below 10 degrees w/windchill.

BUS RIDER PARENTS: Please have your student(s) at the bus stop 5-10 minutes early so that our bus drivers can stay on schedule in order for our schools to start on time. Thank you for helping.

KINDERGARTEN MEET N GREET: This event has been rescheduled for Monday, March 3, 2025 from 5:00-6:30 p.m. All incoming Kindergarten students are welcome to come and visit the kindergarten area and classrooms.

Reminders

DRESS FOR Winter WEATHER: In case you haven't observed, Winter is here. Winter hats, gloves, boots and coats are needed. It would also be ideal if you send your little ones with snow pants.

OUTSIDE LUNCHES: The district does not allow outside lunches to be delivered to school for students.

SICK CHILD: Please call the office and report that you are keeping your child home due to illness. The Cass Van Buren Health Department requires schools to report illnesses every week.

Given the increase in illnesses, this serves as a friendly reminder about the importance of proper handwashing.
