This Saturday Sept. 12 we are hosting our annual Golf Outing at Lake Leann Golf Course. Below is a flyer with all of the details. If you know any golfers make sure to pass this info along. You can sign up and pay the morning of the event.

For the 20-21 school year we will still have chocolate and white milk for sale at lunch. Students can also order Subway on Thursday and Pizza on Friday. It is $0.50 for milk, $2.50 for a sub or $1.50 for a slice of pizza. Parents can still set up a lunch account in the office if they wish. If your child does not have a lunch account money should be sent with them to cover the cost of what they want to order. Tomorrow will be our first Subway day. Students will place their order with their teacher in the morning. If your child's classroom allows for snack time don't forget to pack a snack even if they aren't bringing a lunch. Please call the office if you have any questions.

First Day Reminders: If your child is dropped off between 7:30-7:45 they will need to be dropped off in the back parking lot. They will enter the gym building and wait in the gym until 7:45. Students dropped off after 7:45 will enter the main office door. You can find the dismissal schedule on our website under parent information. Please make sure you read that and are familiar with the pick-up process. Under our phase 4 COVID-19 plan parents are not allowed to enter the building during the school day. Please keep in mind you will not be allowed to walk your child to class. Staff will be available to assist if they have a lot of items to carry in on the first day.
