After observing drop off this morning, I feel it is necessary to review drop off procedures in order to ensure the safety of our students.
Drop off begins at 8:40. Cars should pull all the way up to the front of the loop to drop off. Once the loop is full, please wait at the stop sign so our buses can exit the driveway once they have unloaded. Students should remain in the car until school staff come outside. For the safety of all of our students and our staff, we have some expectations for drop off.
Parents should remain in the car at all times.
Children should exit the car on the passenger side
only
and staff will assist children who require support exiting the car. Children should be ready to exit the car as soon as you are stopped in the loop.
Backpacks and water bottles should be ready to go.
Children should not exit the car if they are not in the loop.
If your child is having difficulty getting out of the car, please proceed to a parking space.
Under no circumstance should anyone pass another car in the loop.
When leaving the loop, be aware of the busses also exiting as well as the cars that may be turning left into our side parking lot.
If you are driving your child to school, please follow the drop off procedures.

If you are not completely satisfied with your child's portrait and would like to try again, you have the opportunity for a free retake.
Memorial School’s Retake Day is TOMORROW. Please return the entire, undamaged portrait package to the photographer on Retake Day. Keep the class photo! Write any suggestions for the photographer on a piece of paper so it shows through the envelope window. Retake Packages will be distributed by the school approximately 3 to 5 weeks after Retake Day.

Guidelines for Recess
Our guidelines are if the temperature is above 20 degrees F we will go outside. That means that children need to come to school prepared to be in the elements. In order to play in the snow, children must have all of the following:
- snow pants (If children wear shorts to school, they should bring pants to wear at recess.)
- snow boots
- mittens/gloves
- hat
- coat/jacket
Children missing any of these pieces will stay on the hard top during recess.

College and Career Day
Looking for presenters......
On December 19th, our third and fourth grade students will again participate in College and Career Day! This year we will again have visitors "teach" courses related to a variety of careers. Some of these careers may or may not require college degrees. Last year we had many parents and family members volunteer to "teach." We are looking for volunteers again this year. There are two sessions, 9-10:30 and 10:45-12:30. You are also welcome to join our students for lunch that day from 12:30-1:15.

Important Information Regarding Remind App
|
|
Due to limits on the number of participants I am allowed to have in one “class”, I have created classes by grade level. I don’t send texts often but when I do it is reminders about things such as Picture Day or a school cancellation. These messages come out on other social media sites such as Twitter as well as through a blast but sometimes a quick note to your phone is helpful. If you have previously signed up, that code will no longer work so please sign up again. Please sign up using the following codes:
Kindergarten parents text
@eehbae7e to 81010
Grade 1 parents text
@9g3hak to 81010
Grade 2 parents text
@dae6aa to 81010
Grade 3 parents text
@39g386f to 81010
Grade 4 parents text
@hg4dh9 to 81010
You don’t not need to sign up multiple times for multiple children. Just once is enough as I will send the same message to all classes.
Please reach out to me with any questions.
