From the Desk of the Principal

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. Please make sure they have a change of shoes as well so they are able to remove their boots when they arrive at school.

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

Building Highlights

Our staff has had a great time participating in dress up days during the last 2 weeks. They have "dressed as their students" and were "undercover agents".

Elks Hoop Shoot

On Saturday, December 7th, several students from Pat Ham participated in the annual Elks Hoop Shoot.
