From your Proud Principal
Clarence Pollock
|
|
I realize it is Thursday, April 21st and we are soon approaching the end of the school year, but I just want to give you all a friendly reminder that our student school day starts at 7:45 AM and ends at 2:15 PM. The reason for the reminder in April is that we have had an increase in the number of students who are arriving late in the morning. We realize things happen and traffic can be unpredictable at times, but we really need our learners here on time as the teachers have a full day planned for them starting at 7:45 AM. Students may be dropped off as early as 7:20 AM and wait for the clock to turn 7:30 AM before heading down to their classrooms. We so appreciate your support and partnership!

PTO Staff Appreciation Committee Needs your Help!
The PTO Staff Appreciation Committee is developing plans for ways we can meaningfully acknowledge our teachers and staff during the upcoming National Staff Appreciation week, May 2nd-6th. We would like to solicit funding support from the school community, particularly given that due to COVID constraints the conference meals have required the additional expense of catered meals. This was a successful effort for us last year and we believe families will be eager again to acknowledge teachers similarly this year.
We have created this Sign-Up Genius link which allows the opportunity and instructions to families who wish to donate:

We could not do the wonderful things we do at our school without all of you and your never-ending support. We are a village and family for all of our 433 learners!
