October 22 - 26, 2012

Parents:  We have been asked to remind you that checkout time in the office is 2:15 p.m.  After that time, you must wait in the car rider line.  Also remember that students MUST have a written note in order to change transportation.  The large number of phone calls are becoming a problem.  You may FAX your request to change transportation.  Planning ahead is crucial.  We need your help with these things and appreciate your kindness in remembering!

Monday----Red Ribbon Day: Wear red
