Tuesday, September 4, and Wednesday, September 5, are Superintendent Conference Days – no students.
Tuesday, September 4 – Open House for Grades Universal Pre-k through Grade Two (6 – 7:30 pm).
Thursday, September 6 – Open House for Grades Three through Grade Six (6 – 7:30 pm).
Students in grades Universal Pre-k – 12 will begin with a full day of instruction on Thursday, September 6. Breakfast and lunch will be provided as usual. Students should follow their regular bus assignments and schedules.
Here are some helpful hints for the opening days of school:
1. Every year, all free/reduced applications must be filled out and returned before the first day of school. Any questions, contact Heather Brooks at 686-7321, ext. 1708.
2. Have your children at their bus stops 5-10 minutes early each day.
3. If you cannot walk your child to the designated bus stop, have a responsible older child do so.
4. Meet and get to know your child’s bus driver. K-1-2 students must have a designated responsible person at the bus stop for pick-up. Please be sure to come to the bus stop so your child can identify you to the bus driver. If no one is at the bus stop for pick-up, your child will be brought back to school and you must come to school and pick him or her up.
5. Insure that your child knows his/her bus number. Please be sure to let us know as soon as possible if you have changed your location or your children are going to a new baby-sitter. This is particularly important for a younger student, in grades k, 1, 2 or 3.
6. Reinforce bus safety with your child.
7. Label all your child’s possessions with first and last name.
8. Insure that our school nurse and the Elementary office have emergency telephone numbers in case you need to be reached.
9. Always feel you can contact the Elementary (686-9492) or High School (686-7321) offices for information.
