Back-to-School Info

August 8, 2024

Hello Everyone!

      Here is some important information to get you and your students ready for the school year.

Back-to-School Night

      Back-to-School Night is coming! This will be held on Monday, August 12^th from 4:00-6:00. It is an open house format, so come anytime during that time frame. Doors will not open until 4:00 so that teachers can have as much work time as possible on that day. Please note that some teachers may not be in the building at this time, but there will be materials for your students to collect, regardless. 

Start of School and Class Placement

      The first day of school is Wednesday, August 14th, for ALL grades including kindergarten. We are so excited! School starts at 9:00, with a tardy bell ringing at 9:05. At this time, we are unable to accommodate class change requests. This is a busy time of year for our teachers and getting prepared is hard to do if their list of students keeps changing. 

Information for Incoming Kindergarteners:

      The first 3 days of kindergarten are short days. So, on the 14th, 15^th and 16th, kindergarten gets out of school at 1:40. If your kindergartener takes the bus, please view the attached link with more information about what time the bus drops off your students. The bus will pick up kindergarten bus students at 1:20 on the 14^th and 15th. On August 16th, the bus will collect kinder students with the other grade level students at 1:40, when early release happens for all grade levels. 

      Also, kindergarten students will be visited by Ms. Anderson prior to school starting with a special surprise!

PTA Info

      I have attached a sheet that our wonderful PTA put together with some helpful links. They are providing ALL students with a free t-shirt this year. Yay! Please use the QR code to get your student’s shirt size entered. 

Bussing

      If you are interested in having your student ride the bus this year, I have attached our bus stop list to this email. I will also get this uploaded to our website. 

General School Information

      Throughout the year, you can view our website for updates, on top of receiving a weekly(ish) email from me. I will always attach that month’s calendar to my email communications for an overview of what’s coming. You can click here to view our bell schedule. This bell schedule does have an update on it that is different from the one you will receive in the first day of school folder, my apologies. 

Please reach out with any questions/concerns you may have to get our students ready and excited for the first day of school.
