| Every Minute Counts | November 17, 2015 - 8:15am |
Over the years we have learned that classroom seat time leads to academic success, which is why we want every child in class every day. As much as possible, appointments need to be made after school hours. If you must make an appointment during the school day, please bring your child to school in the morning and then check out your child at the office later in the day before the appointment. |

| Reminder | November 17, 2015 - 8:40am |
Please remember that students need to be picked up at dismissal. We have many students who play on the playstructure or are waiting in the office for up to 30-40 minutes to be picked up. This is not allowed as we do not have supervision on the yard after dismissal and the office staff is not available to watch students after 3:00. In addition please refrain from allowing students to play on the playstructure in the morning on the kinder yard and lower yard unless you are there to closely supervise them. |
