SPRING CONCERTS

Spring concerts are coming soon! Due to our school’s growth and parking/seating needs, spring concerts will be held on two evenings this year. Join us for ‘A Musical World’ on Monday 5/12 at 6:30 pm in the cafetorium where all kindergarten, first, second, third, and homeschool partnership students will perform. The following evening 5/13 is Fine Arts Night, with musical performances at 6:30 by the 4th, 5th, 6th grades, the elementary string orchestra, and the secondary band. Please come before or stay after your child’s concert to see student artwork displayed in the gym! Watch for more details to come directly from Mrs. Disher.

KLEENEX NEEDED

As we come to an end to the winter season, we have also come to the end of our tissue supply. Please consider donating tissues to the front office for the classrooms for the remainder of the school year. Thank you for your generosity!

SOUTHSIDE DROP OFF LANE USE

Effective immediately, the drop-off loop between the building and the parking lot will be closed to one lane each morning. Families should circle through the parking lot and enter into the available lane for drop off ONLY. If you need or want to park and walk into the building with your student, you must use the parking lot.

Additionally, when using the parking lot and walking into the building, please use the crosswalks ONLY and encourage your students to do the same.

Safety is our main concern, and we have had multiple reports of close calls as cars pull out to pass parked cars in the drop off lane that should not be parked there. Students walking from the parking lot sometimes don't use the crosswalks or pay close attention to the vehicles moving through those lanes. These steps are being implemented to avoid any potential accidents and to keep traffic flowing through quickly in the morning. These changes will be considered permanent.

Preschool drop off procedures for the front entrance drive remain the same.

BUILDING SECURITY REMINDER

In the interest of keeping our building secure, please use the front doors to enter and exit the building.  Thank you!

LUNCH

*On Thursday - April 17th - we will be selling chocolate chip cookies for $1 at lunch time.

*Lunch orders for the week of 4/22-4/25, are due by 11 p.m. on Tuesday, 4/15. The May lunch menu is open for ordering. Please consider ordering for the entire month.
