Early Dismissal and Late Arrival Reminders

Late Arrivals

Upon arrival, please pull up to the lower school main entrance and call the office (434)296-6901. A faculty member will greet you at your car and check your child's health screening and temperature. If your child is in PK-5th Grade or 7th Grade, they may enter the building through the lower school front door. If they are in 6th Grade or 8th Grade, please drive them around to the Batten Building and they may enter through the Batten breezeway door.  

Early Dismissals

Unless early dismissal plans have already been made through the office, please come to the lower school main entrance and ring the doorbell. A faculty member will greet you at the door and confirm that you are here for an early pick up. Then we will bring your child out to you.  
High School Information Session Postponed

The High School Introduction session has been postponed until there is more information available from the local high schools about their Open Houses and Information sessions. When the High Schools provide us more information, we will make sure to share it as soon as possible. If you are considering a private school option for your student, please contact Mrs. Krehmeyer or Mr. Orlando during the month of September as that process is different. Please contact Mrs. Krehmeyer if you have general questions about high schools at this time. 
Celebrate Birthdays at School, Safely!

This year, we’re excited to partner with Yay Lunch to provide parents with an easy way to celebrate birthdays in class with Cookies for the Classroom! 

Each cookie is individually wrapped and comes with a FREE sticker sheet PLUS a Yay Lunch tote for the birthday boy or girl - delivered directly to the classroom. Open to all Peabody parents. Orders must be placed the Saturday before desired delivery date. 
Are you Interested in Helping?

Many of you have asked about ways to support our teachers as we head back to school this year. Our "Team" model that we have developed to keep our students and teachers safe and physically separated in the building means that each "Team" needs their own pool of subs to rely on to make sure we can keep our community as safe as possible. We are hoping to develop a robust list of parents who might be willing to step in (we promise we won't make you!) if a teacher needs to be out in a pinch. Rather than calling in subs from outside of our community, this allows teachers the piece of mind to know that an absence doesn't increase risk for their Team. If you may have some flexibility in your schedule and might be available as a back-up sub ONLY for your child's team and ONLY in non COVID-19 situations, please contact Mr. Orlando. Thanks!
