Wow! It’s already the weekend again!
No spelling test tomorrow for Roots or Shoots.
Student-Led Conferences will be held on March 7th and March 9th. Mrs. Bunch will be unable to attend the Tuesday conferences. She will have a necessary surgical procedure on Friday, March 3rd. She will hopefully return to school on Wednesday, March 8th. She will be happy to schedule conference meetings to be held after school on Tuesday, March 21st or Wednesday, March 22nd in order to meet with every parent. IF neither of these days or times works for you, please contact her to schedule another meeting.
Please remember to follow drop off procedures in the morning. If you are dropping off your child, you must park your car in the lot and walk them in or let them out in the front of the building (this is the drop off zone). We have seen several parents letting students out in the parking lot and in the bus zone. This is very dangerous. Following our procedures helps your child understand why they are important. Procedures keep us safe!! Thank you!
THERE IS STILL lots of sickness going around! Wash hands often and please keep your child at home if they are running a fever or complaining of nausea. Please encourage your children to cough and sneeze into their elbow rather than out into the air we all breathe in. We are doubling down on handwashing and hand sanitizer as well as Clorox-wiping our surfaces regularly. Nose-picking is a really quick way to introduce germs into your system…so please discourage this at home, and know that we are, also.
