District & School Updates:

Upcoming Drill Practices:
Safety & Wellness: As we head into quarter two, our guidelines remain. We'll continue to wash hands, sanitize, and clean at high levels. For example, our custodians use our UV light machine throughout the day. We encourage you to wash coats and backpacks regularly. Thank you all the ways you help to keep our doors open.

Hide Only Drill: November 4th

Absence Friendly Reminder: If your child will be out of school for any reason, please notify the office. It's important we are aware and the reasoning; please avoid updating the teacher only especially for longer periods of absence. Thank You!

Baggie Books:
How is your child's nightly reading going? Thanks for remembering to have your child color his/her minute card (one square per 10 minutes read) You can sign the back when the card is complete. Turn this into the teacher when complete for a bonus bright buck!

E-Learning Families:

Paid Lunch Supervisors: Could you help us with lunch from 10:45-12:45 p.m.? You can work as many or as few days as you'd like. Please reach out to Mrs. Lech (elech@y115.org).
