THE SCHOOL DAY
We have had a wonderful week
together! The smiles in the building have been great to see. We are so
proud of our Panthers as they adjust to our new bell times and entry
points. We thank you all for your patience as we work through the kinks.
Please remember:
The school day begins at 8:40am. It is important that students are on time each day.
Teachers will be the ones to bring the children into the building. We ask that you wave good bye from the playground.
The school day ends at 3:10pm. You can pick up your children from the school yard.

We ask that you note that Birthday Celebrations will now be
teacher-lead. Treats are no longer permitted to be brought into the

At
3:25pm each day, the childcare has exclusive use of the yard, therefore
