Reminders
- Arrival – we are still having some early arrivals in the morning – students can arrive at 8:40 for breakfast – and 8:50 for all other students. Please make sure NOT to drop off early – we do not have staff supervision until 8:50.
- Picking students up – we always try and optimize our time with students – our policy is to call students down when parent arrives at the school. Thanks for your patience!
Candy Buy Back - Students can bring in Halloween candy for owl slips. Multiples of 25 will earn owl slips. Students need to count candy and bring it to the office. For every 25 pieces of candy they will earn an owl slip. No limit to how much they can bring in.
