Wildcat Weekly Updates-Week of October 12th

This week we have a full week of school.  It is critical that all students are on time and present.  We have just a few weeks until the end of the nine weeks.  

Remember if your child is out that you need to submit an absence note using the link on the school website to upload your note.  All students should be in class by 7:50.  Help us make the car rider line run smoothly in the morning by making sure your child is prepared to unload by being unbuckled, and having their bookbag/lunchbox in hand.  If you need to change your child’s transportation information for the day, please be sure to complete the transportation change form on the school website prior to 2pm.  If you are picking up your child in the car rider line please make sure you have your car rider tag displayed. All students should be picked up by 3:00.  

On Friday, October 17th, Kindergarten students will go on their  field trip to Stas Farm.  

On Friday, October 17th we will  have PTO Movie Night.  Gates will open at 6:30 and the movie begins at 7:30.   The PTO is in need of volunteers and donations.  They are requesting donations of candy including Twix bars and M&Ms.  They are requesting all donations be turned in by Friday.  You can sign up to donate or volunteer using the links.
