Milk Price Change This is a reminder to parents that the cost of a carton of milk has changed to $.30 due to the increased cost to the district. Grandparent’s Day Lunch Don’t forget about Grandparent’s Day lunch on Tuesday, Sept. 11 for 3rd grade; Wednesday, Sept. 12 for 4th grade, and Thursday, Sept. 13 for 5th grade. The price of an adult lunch is $2.70. Reservation forms were sent home and need to be returned to school by Wednesday, Sept. 5 and we only need those returned if you are planning on eating a hot lunch. You don’t have to eat a hot lunch to take part as you are welcome to bring a sack lunch and participate in the celebration. Grandparents should arrive at school at 11:50 a.m. as the teachers will bring students to the gym to meet you. We will start eating at 12:15 and when you are done eating, you can have a quick visit with your student to see their class room. We will conclude our visit at 1:00 p.m. and allow students to continue their school day. We ask that you not expect your student to go with you when you leave. Dropping Off or Picking Up Students Please be aware that our official drop off and pickup location is the gravel parking lot to the east of the building. We ask that you use the East Entrance to the building on Bolls Street as Lewis Street is narrow and has so much traffic on it. It makes for some dangerous situations with students running out in front of vehicles. PTO Fundraiser The PTO Fundraiser is in progress. Students are to turn in their order forms on Wednesday, Sept. 5. No money is to be collected until the items are delivered. The ordered products will arrive in time to be given to parents during Parent/Teacher Conferences on Oct. 25 & 26. We hope you can pick them up when you have your conference. School Pictures School pictures will be taken on Thursday, September 20 and forms will be sent home Friday, September 7. Purchasing school pictures is optional, but everyone will get their picture taken for ID purposes. 1st Quarter Midterms & Grade Cards Midterm is Friday, Sept. 14 and midterm reports will be sent home with students on Wednesday, September 19. If you have questions or need to talk to your child’s teacher, please call and schedule a time to either talk or meet with them.
