Please sign & return the enclosed report/form on Monday. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the classroom teacher. 2nd Grade Parents – please note the transition of your reports from paper copy to the portal this term.
MORNING DROP-OFF: Please make every effort to drop off your child before 7:40 in the morning. The school day begins at 7:45, after which students are counted absent or tardy. Drop off time is officially listed in the handbook through 7:45 am, but to ensure that students are counted and with their class by 7:45 am, we ask that they are dropped off just a few minutes earlier. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
