Hopefully you all had a restful long weekend. We had a short week this week but it was an awesome week! September is a busy month with many events happening. Hopefully you all have connected with your child's teacher this year. We will be hosting Parent/Teacher conferences next Thursday, September 12th and the following Thursday, September 19th from 4:30 to 7:30. Your students teacher should have sent home a sign up sheet this week. If you haven't signed up for conference, please reach out to your students teacher. Hopefully you all have a great weekend! See you back next week!

The car rider drop off and dismissal procedures have gone very well the first month of school! Thank you for your cooperation in following our procedures to keep our students, staff and all families safe during one of the busiest times of our day. A couple of helpful tips to ensure the line moves smoothly:

• Have your car tag visible and then remove the tag once your students enter the car

• Please wait for a staff member to dismiss students from their cars in the morning.

• If families have a prearranged meeting, they should check in at the front office before proceeding to their meeting.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to ensure our procedures are as efficient and safe as possible for all students, families and staff.

Please see the attached document below in regards to our policy about background checks for volunteering. Hopefully this will answer any questions you may have. If you have further questions please reach out to our front office to assist you.
