Hello Orchard Families,
It has been a fantastic first week back! We are so excited to see returning students and some new students to Orchard this year. These first couple of weeks are reviewing many routines and procedures in the classroom and throughout the school. If you ever have questions about any of these procedures, please reach out to your child’s teacher for further clarification.
In our registration packets this year, we had an order form for parents to fill out if they are interested in buying their students a school shirt or hoodie. If you filled one out, please make sure we receive payment by August 31, 2021. If you are still interested in purchasing a shirt, I have attached the order form. We are placing the first order on August 31, so we need all forms and payment on that date.
We want to make sure if students are going outside for recess, the air quality is safe. Here is a link that we use to check the air quality during the day. https://www.graniteschools.org/blog/2017/01/10/recess-and-air-quality-2/ If you ever have questions or concerns about the air quality, please contact our front office.
Here are some important dates coming up:
September 6: Labor Day – No School
September 13: School Picture Day
September 17: No School for Students
September 29 and 30: Boo to the Flu and Parent-Teacher Conferences
Thank you for sending your children to Orchard Elementary!
