SCHOOL DISMISSAL: School is being dismissed at 2:00 on Friday, September 29th so that students can go to the Homecoming Parade. Buses will run accordingly from the schools.
SCHOOL PICTURES: Make up date for school pictures will be Friday, November 3rd, 2017.
LUNCHES: This is a reminder for parents to keep up with their child’s lunch/breakfast money.
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES: A reminder that Parent/Teacher conferences will be October 23rd, 2017. There is no school for students EC-6 on this day. At that time, parents will be receiving the report card for the first nine-week period.
ATTENDANCE: This is a reminder to parents how important it is to have children in school. Having your child in school on a regular basis enables them to keep up with their class on materials that are covered. Children who miss a lot of school will fall behind in academics. It takes more effort to catch up, than to maintain on a regular basis. Please review page 4 of the student handbook on attendance if you have questions.
E-MAIL: If a parent wants to communicate with their child’s teacher they can e-mail through the district’s e-mail address. The e-mail address is simple to figure out for the teacher/administrator you want to contact. It is simply the first initial of the first name, the entire last name @ usd211.org. For example, if you would want to contact me (Corey Roy) at school, my address is croy@usd211.org.
DROP OFFS: Please remember that the school driveway is for faculty and buses in the morning, and afternoon. A friendly reminder that it is illegal to pass a school bus with its lights on and stop sign out while picking up and dropping off students.
CROSSWALKS: We are working with our students to use crosswalks at all times. It would be helpful if parents would support this and use them as well when picking up and dropping off students at school.
HEALTH: Germs are among us! There have been some students who have visited the health office with headaches, and stomachaches. The best prevention for keeping healthy is:
Parents please remind your children of these five easy steps and practice them yourselves. Children will follow their parent’s example.
