Kinder and 1st grade students must have an adult or older sibling present to receive their child. Individuals receiving Kinder or 1st grade students at the flag pole will need to be in possession of a picture ID, so the staff member can verify release authorization on the first day of school.

For Kinder and 1st grade, please email your child's teacher if you give permission for your child to be released by an older sibling. We must have this parent permission documentation on file. 

We will not release students to parents parked in the parking lot. You must meet your child at the flag pole.

Astronotes for November 12, 2014

Nov 11, 2014 | Bud Whileyman

Next week is Parent Involvement Week.  In recognition of this designated week, we encourage you to come have breakfast with your child/children.  We will be serving doughnuts, coffee, and juice for you to enjoy with your student(s).  On Tuesday, we would like all parents with last names from A-M to come and enjoy breakfast with their children.  On Wednesday, we would love to see all parents with their last name beginning with letters N-Z to come share a meal with their child.  These 2 events will start at 6:30 am so that parents who need to commute to work can still maintain their schedule.  Our PTO always sponsors these events and we would like to thank them for their contribution of time, effort and funding.
   
Tomorrow, Thursday the 13th is the day to pick up your Cookie Dough Fundraiser items.  We will start at 11:00 a.m. and everything must be picked up by 6:00 p.m. due to the refrigeration of the products!  

Our spirit night and location for Chick-Fil-A has changed. We will now be at the new location of Bella Terra (closer location) and the next spirit night is December 16th.  See you there!

Christmas cards for soldiers
Ms. Allen's Fourth Grade Class is gathering Christmas cards for our American Soldiers stationed overseas.  Please join us!  We would love to have cards from you.  Cards need to be signed and dropped off in the designated box located in the foyer of the school.  They can be handmade!  Anything would be wonderful.  Thank you for your support.
