Dear Parents,
More and more normal…aaah!
Report cards have been posted. Please note that Third Quarter report cards include narratives and not just grades. This is a direct result of the strategic plan and action items identified by the parent survey. We look forward to a great Fourth Quarter!
As we return to more normal we celebrate small things. We have removed any restrictions on water fountains, just in time for the hot weather coming in. Students should still bring water bottles for lunch (please remember no juices or sodas…just water) but they are free to get a sip from the fountain on the way back in from recess.
With the ‘return to normal’ comes some more normal reminders like…students are not allowed to sell candy at school. This is just a reminder that, while we do encourage students' entrepreneurship, students should not be bringing candy to school to sell to classmates. This has cropped up from time to time, usually in middle school.
Finally, to help keep us ‘more normal’, we are ready to provide a 'Test to Stay Program' should the need arise. Please click here for more information. Contact the Health Room with questions or to update your child’s vaccination status.
We anticipate more and more activities and fun to close out the year. We are planning the Variety Show at the end of Week of the Arts. We are planning the Bulldog 5K and the Mission Fair and the Field Day with little or no restrictions. We’ll also be getting back to prayer in the gym in the morning and cycling classes into the auditorium for lunch (after Easter).
Faithfully,
Chris Kelly
