REMINDER: Parent/Teacher Conferences 

Wednesday, November 4th (4-8pm) and Thursday, November 5th (10am-8pm). All conferences will be held via Zoom or by Conference Call.  If you have not yet signed up for parent-teacher conferences please contact your child’s teacher as soon as possible. You can choose to meet via Zoom or conference call. Please remember that the teachers only have a limited time and may need to end the Zoom or phone call to stay on schedule. Likewise, please be patient if your child’s teacher is a minute or two behind calling or hosting a Zoom call.


REMOTE TO HYBRID LEARNERS

If your child was a remote learner during the first trimester and you have selected that they become a hybrid learner second trimester, you will receive an email on Monday, November 2 informing you of school procedures and teacher information. During the week of November 2 - we will be using that time to roll students into their correct hybrid class on Tyler so we wanted to clear that up in case you get an email that says one thing and Tyler hasn't been updated, please know we are in the process.


We look forward to welcoming our new hybrid learners back to school on November 9!

Parking Lot Procedures - Reminders

As you drop off your child, please be aware and cautious of those parents who drop off their children near the yellow area to walk to the back doors.  If you choose to drop off at the yellow star area, please pull as close as possible to that side. Remain patient as students exit their vehicles.  Parents, please ensure that students exit their car on the RIGHT side. Our staff members continue to monitor the parking lot and communicate concerns as they arise. 




COVID Information and Reminders

We would like to remind families that if anyone in the household exhibits COVID-19 symptoms, please keep all students in that household home from school until a negative COVID-19 test is received or an alternative diagnosis is identified.  This will help to stop the spread of COVID-19 within the schools.


Dear Parents and Families,

Help build your student's classroom library!
Simply open the "Teacher Wish List" and find the tab for the grade you would like to look at. Then go to the Scholastic website to purchase.
When your book arrives at your home just send it with your child to school.  Remote families can leave them on the blue LRC cart in the vestibule.  Please label which classroom it is for and who it is from.
Thanks for your support!!
