School Clothing Orders

For those of you who have ordered school clothing, the orders will be delivered to the school sometime early in the New Year.

Holiday Schedule

The Christmas holiday break starts this week. Here’s what you need to know about the last day before the break begins.

On Wednesday, December 21st, school starts at the regular time and we are having dismissal at 12:30pm. We will be having a condensed day, where we have all five scheduled periods, but each one will be shortened. We will also be having an extended recess period as part of our day.

Students will be expected to remain in their classes during instructional time, and we will not be having an assembly that day.

Busses will begin their runs when the students are dismissed at 12:30pm.

Classes will resume on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2017, and it will be day 5 on the Schedule.

School Reopening – Dec 15th

We are reopening for classes this afternoon. Busses will run 4 hours delayed. If you would get picked up at 7:10am, then today your pick uptime is 11:10am. Doors open at 11:45 for the afternoon session.

Book Fair Next Week

We have a severe “book watch” in effect as the Scholastic Book Fair Blizzard heads our way! Reading Radar shows a large accumulation of great reads moving into our area and is expected to arrive at our school on December 5th through 8th. But this is just the tip of the iceberg!

You will be blown away when you plow through the entire assortment of cool books firsthand! The fair will also be open for parents during parent teacher interviews when the flurry of excitement will snowball on December 10th.

The fair is a great place to pick up some wonderful Christmas gifts AND it is a great fundraiser for the school library – where every cent we make will be plowed back into brand new books for the library. This will be the coolest event of the season so dress warmly and get ready to chill out with a cool book!

Ask your child for their wish list that they picked up and filled out at the fair! Stocking stuffers with no guesswork! How cool is that?

Thanks so much to the helper elves! We wouldn’t be able to pull this off without you!

Here is the class visitation Schedule:
