April 19-22

Hello Parents,

My prayer is that you had a wonderful weekend with family celebrating Jesus and His resurrection.  Please join our class in continuing to praying for the people of Ukraine and for peace. Wednesday is Storybook Character Dress Up day. Students can be creative and use what they have to dress up like a book character. Please make sure your student has a picture of the book or the book for this day. If your student chooses not to participate, they must wear their regular uniform.

As our Little Digger and Little Hoopster after school programs continue, we have noticed that many siblings of students involved are also staying at school while waiting for parents to pick them up. We understand that parents often do not want to make multiple trips to the school. However, parents should be aware that after 3:25 there is no supervision available outside on the playground and in any of the other areas of the school. If an accident happens or an incident occurs, staff members may not be available to help. For student safety, we would encourage parents to tell siblings to stay inside the gym along the walls and wait there or in the front foyer until parents arrive. Alternatively, carpooling may be available so siblings do not have to wait at the school. Thank you for your consideration.
