From the Desk of the Principal

HERO Expectations: Honesty, Earning and Giving Respect, Responsibility, and Orderly and Safe! Today we focused on being Orderly and Safe! Please discuss with your child how they can not only be orderly and safe at school, but in the community as well!

Attendance: Please remember the importance of attendance; attendance matters! Keep up the great work families as we have several students who have not missed a single day of school to date. Let's work on getting perfect attendance for the whole month of September!

END OF DAY CALLS and PICK UPS: You must call the office by 3:00 p.m. to make arrangements for your student to go home a different way. This is a policy that we have had in place and unfortunately have to enforce. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

Building Highlights

Kendall, Lailah, Nolan and Jenora were all smiles this morning as they were helping the PTO get ready for popcorn day.

PTO is always looking for volunteers to help. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to the PTO. Our next popcorn day will be Friday, November 8th.

Reminders

Outside Lunches: The district does not allow outside lunches to be delivered or brought into school for the students.

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

Transportation Changes: Please remember that any changes in busing transportation need to be made directly with the Transportation Department. You can reach them at 269-782-4482.
