Principal’s Corner Greetings parents, Thank you for your support in a successful 1st month of school. Your patience and understanding at arrival and dismissal is appreciated. As we complete our construction project, I ask that you continue to work with us for the safety of your children. There is a parking lot located on the corner of 11th and Spruce. You are welcome to park their if space is available or on the street. However, if you park on Spruce do not park on the side in front of the school. Please keep in mind that every minute we have your child is important to educate them properly. We ask that you refrain from checking your child out early. We understand occasional doctor appointments but regular early checkouts will be questioned. Let’s work together!

Tracie Davis, Director Nurse’s Notes Welcome to Spaght! My name is Debbie Snyder and I am your school nurse. You may reach me for any health related questions at 973-7341, M-F. Here is some information for you: This year I have posted on the bulletin board outside of my office a list of community resources for health care. The district requires that your student be up-to-date with their immunizations. Please provide the school with a KCI (KS Certificate of Immunizations) if new to the district, or an update of any immunizations they have gotten in 2011. Yearly health exams are recommended. Getting ears checked to make sure they are free of wax buildup decreases the risk of your child missing out on important teacher instruction. Family Engagement BE INVOLVED: \ Site Council \ PTA \ Mentoring/Tutoring \ Volunteering, etc. Construction-Work in Progress Parking Please use side streets.
