Good morning families!
Just a reminder that if your students are playing sports after school, they need to go to their designated practice or homework areas immediately. If their practice is at 3:30, they can stay to get ready, either in the gym or waiting in a classroom with a teacher. If they do not have practice until 5pm, they need to leave campus, UNLESS they are staying for the afterschool program. If they stay for the afterschool program, they need to stay with their teacher or go immediately to the library for attendance.
Please remind your students that they are not permitted to wander around the school grounds after 3 pm. They must be either participating in the after school program, or in a supervised, scheduled activity. Thanks for all your help and cooperation!
Big congratulations to Ms. Pede's class today!! In our 4/5 classroom we have 100% attendance today. It may be just one day, but everyday counts!
