Pennell Families,
We are so excited our Phillies are in the playoffs, we encourage you to wear hometown gear or read and white tomorrow to celebrate!!!
Beginning tomorrow morning, all students (including kindergarten) being dropped off by car should pull around back to the gym doors. When you enter the recess yard, please pull up as far as possible next to the playground, so we can be as efficient as possible with getting your students into the building. Please remain in your car, and allow your child to exit on the drivers side to ensure the most safe transition. When your child enters the building, they are either going to the cafeteria to get breakfast, or to the gym to wait for the day to begin. We practiced this new routine on Friday, 9/20. Thank you for our cooperation and patience during this change.
This week's related arts schedule days:
Monday is C
Tuesday is D
Wednesday is E
Thursday is F
Friday is A
**Reminder: anyone picking up your child MUST have the gold card with your family's name on it, or they will be asked to go to the office and produce identification so that we can check it with our system.
Recess:
We will be reminding our students to use the bathroom before heading out to recess, and to bring their water bottle with them in hopes of limiting the number of students that ask to go in and out of the building during recess. Please help us to have the students understand that entering back into the building during the 25 minute recess is for emergencies only, so that we can have as much supervision with the students outside as possible for the full 25 minutes. Thank you for our support!
Bike Riders:
If your child is riding a bike to school, please be sure they are wearing a bike helmet. Safety is our number one concern from the time they leave your home, until they return to you in the afternoon.
