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 October 28, 2015

Oct 28, 2015 | Bud Whileyman

I hope everyone enjoyed the Fall Carnival.  It looked like the students were having fun and they enjoyed seeing their teachers giving out candy.  Thanks again to all staff and to our PTO members who contributed many hours and great effort to make the carnival a fun-filled success. 
Our next big event will be our Veterans Day program which is scheduled for November 11th.  There will be 2 performances.  One will be at 1:15 for the students and the second one will be at 7:00 for the parents and community.  This is always a very patriotic event to honor our veterans.  We hope you will be able to attend one of the performances.
Next week parent conferences should be scheduled to review your student’s progress over the first 9-weeks of school.  We have early release days on Thursday, November 5th and Friday, November 6th. These days will be used for scheduling the required conferences.  Arrangements should be made for students being released at 11:30 on these days.
