Good Evening Wildcat Families,
Thank you to everyone that donated items for Western North Carolina and those that came out last week for Curriculum Night and Book Fair shopping.
On Monday, October 14th ABSS is hosting Family University at Cummings High School beginning at 5:30. Dinner will be provided and there is childcare available for all school-age children. This is a great opportunity to come out and learn more about how to help your child be successful.
On Thursday, October 17th, kindergarten students will go on their field trip.
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.
Please keep the left lane open in the morning for morning care until 7:20. Double lanes begin at 7:20 for all regular car rider traffic. Students 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.
As a reminder please keep the left lane open in the afternoon for through traffic until 2:00. Double lanes begin at 2:00pm for all regular car rider traffic. 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 prior to car rider dismissal please do so by 2pm. Remember early check outs are considered a tardy.
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/
As a reminder, you can find the breakfast and lunch menu at https://abss.nutrislice.com/menu/em-holt-elementary
