We look forward to welcoming our students back tomorrow. A few reminders to make your first week back at the hive successful.
*If you have not got your parent pick up tag. Please come by the office today from 7:30-12:15 or tomorrow , Aug 12 after 8:30.
*Please be patient in the parent pick up line. Lines will be longer this week, but will get back to normal in just a few days as we learn the routines. To help the flow of traffic, please stay in your car and in the single lane. Please do not call students to your car. Staff will direct students so that they can keep the traffic moving.
*Pre-K and Kindergarten students may be walked to class on the first day only. You may park in our parent pick up/drop off lot. Please do not park in the front office lot as this is our designed drop off for our students with special needs.
*We will be taking the next two weeks to teach our lunchroom routines and procedures. Parents may begin having lunch with their students after Labor Day Weekend.
Thank you for helping ensure that our first week back is a success!
