REMINDERS:
- Help us! Help us keep everyone healthy – please screen your child before sending them to school. Make sure they do not have a fever or other COVID-related symptoms. Thank you.
- In preparation for upcoming inclement weather, please make sure your child knows plans in case of early dismissal and that these plans are what we have on file in the office on the blue card completed at the opening of school. Also please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the changing weather. We will have outdoor recess when the weather permits.
NOTES
- If you are picking up or dropping off your child, please remember not to block the parking lot entrances on Wheeler.
- It is important that if you need to call school with special dismissal arrangements for your child that you do so BEFORE 2:20 PM , or send a note along with your child that day to give to their teacher. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
- Each month, be sure to check your smoke detectors. Keep your family safe!
