Wildcat Weekly Update-Week of September 22nd

It is critical that all students are on time and present for school.  Remember if your child is out that you need to submit an absence note using the link on the school website to upload your note.  

Students not enrolled in the before school program can be dropped off after 7:20.    Please be sure your child is ready and prepared to unload in the morning and that they unload from the passenger side.  All students should be in class by 7:50.  If you enter the line after this time you are tardy and you will need to walk your child in and sign them in.

We dismiss at 2:35 in the afternoon.  If you need to change your child’s transportation information for the day, please be sure to complete the transportation change form on the school website prior to 2pm.  If you are picking up your child in the car rider line please make sure you have your car rider tag displayed.  If you need a car rider tag please call the front office.  

This week is the last week for our one school-wide fundraiser for the year.  Money and orders should be turned in on September 24th. The funds that are raised will go toward our playground equipment fund and purchasing instructional materials that benefit all of our students and classrooms. 

This week we continue voting for the movie for movie night on October 4th.   Students can bring loose change to vote for the movie for movie night.  

We have fall picture day coming up on Wednesday, September 25th. In order for your child’s picture to be taken on September 25th you must opt into your child’s picture being taken and used. This is new this school year and the process should be completed through your PowerSchool Parent Portal account. It can be found in the annual school forms section.  If you do not opt in please note that your child will not be photographed and or included in the yearbook. Please be sure to complete this as soon as possible.  

Progress reports come home on Wednesday, September 25th.  

For parents and visitors coming to have lunch please remember that outside food and drinks are not permitted in the cafeteria.  We encourage all families to complete the free and reduced lunch application.  Even if your child qualified in the past, you must complete the form each year.    You can complete the free and reduced lunch application  online at   https://www.lunchapplication.com/

You can pay your child’s lunch balance  online at https://www.k12paymentcenter.com/
