Fall Pictures: We have received the fall picture packets and will be sending them home on this week with students. Picture Retakes will be on Thursday, November 14th for those students wishing to retake their picture and for students who were absent on the original picture day

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.

Cold Weather: Cold weather as arrived and this means we need families to start sending students to school with warm coats, hats and gloves.

Registration Papers: We are still in need of some students registration papers, please look for a second letter to be sent home Monday. These papers are very important in helping us get in contact with families in time of an emergency or illness.

Bus Rider Families: Please ensure you arrive at the bus stop for pickup and are prepared to board the bus 5 to 10 minutes early each day. This will help the drivers maintain their schedule and adhere to the designated routes. Thank you!

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. he Cass Van Buren Health Department requires school to report illnesses every week.
