From the Desk of the Principal

Penny War: Our Student Council will be doing their annual Penny War starting Wednesday, March 5th. Look for papers to be sent home with student this week.

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

Bell to start the day is at 8:53

Tardy is 9:01 - 9:19

Morning Absent is 9:19 - 11:50

Afternoon Absence is 11:50 - 3:40

If your child comes into the building after 9:01, they are considered tardy.

If they come in after 9:19 they are considered absent. In order to have it excused, you must either sign your student(s) in or call the office.

If you have any questions, please call Mrs. Ruff.

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