Principal Notes
Dear Parents,
Welcome back. I hope that your Thanksgiving was a blessed one. We have three very busy weeks now before Christmas break with Parent Teacher Conferences coming up first.
Here is the link to sign up for grades first through eighth grade conference(s.) Please only choose one time for each child. If you choose more than one time your name will be removed from one of the times.
Junior high parents may only choose one time total, even if you have more than one child in junior high. Friday is open time for all of junior high so you can pop in anytime during the morning to see teachers.
Please remember that in order to see so many parents, teachers must stick to the allotted time. If you need more time you can always set up a follow up appointment with any teacher.
Also, please note, auxiliary teachers will be at school for parent teacher conferences on Thursday evening. They will not be available on Friday.
The SignUp genius will go live tomorrow night, Tuesday, November 28, at 8 pm.
Here is the link;
The lower grade bathroom renovation began over Thanksgiving break. The younger grade students are using different restrooms during this time. It will be a bit of a challenge for a couple of weeks but then we will have our brand new bathrooms. Thank you to all who contributed to the Flush Fund and to PTO whose extra funds from last year are helping to pay for this project. The final cost will be a bit over 100K.
Have a wonderful week.
Pray for and work for peace.
Jennifer

No student will be released to anyone unless a release is verified in writing by the parent. The staff may ask for identification if the staff does not know the person. The Car Pool list is only used for after school pick up and Emergency Cards are used only when your child is sick or injured or in case of earthquake or another emergency.
