September Start-Up Information and Guidelines
Beginning of school is always hectic with a lot of information coming home in a few days time. Below is information to help you get through the first couple of weeks and to help us keep your child(ren) happy, healthy, and safe.- Please be sure to check your child's backpack for important information over the next few days.
- Please be sure to fill out and send back the Emergency Contact Card. Send back all copies, print firmly, and please do not use pencil, crayon, marker or separate the pages. Also, please be sure to update us with any phone number changes throughout the year. Please discuss with your student your emergency dismissal plan that you have written on the Emergency Card so that you child knows what to do in the event of an emergency dismissal.
