New Field Trip Process

We are excited to announce an improved field trip process for families. Beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, all field trip permission slips will be electronic and we are moving to cashless payments for field trips. This is a new process for our entire district and is meant to streamline and improve our service to families. 

Additional information will be shared by teachers as they plan for field trips. However, we want to highlight the following features: 

• Our new online field trip process must be completed via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. You can find the instructions HERE

• All online transaction fees have been waived, including payments made by credit card, debit card, and checking/savings account. 

• If a field trip is sponsored by the district, the cost of the trip is waived for families who are eligible and approved to receive free and reduced priced meals. (This will be communicated to impacted families.)

We look forward to providing your child(ren) with enriching field trip experiences that contribute to their educational journey. We appreciate your continued partnership and engagement!

 

Cold Weather Clothing

As much as we hate to admit it...winter is coming. With that comes cold weather. Please help us make sure that our friends are dressed appropriately for the weather. Warm jackets, hats and mittens/gloves are important daily items. If there is snow on the ground and your student would like to play in the snow, they MUST be dressed in snow pants and boots. Without snow pants and boots, students will be asked to stay on the blacktop.

 

Our Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, November 9th & Tuesday, November 14th. Please use the following link to sign up for a 15 minute conference with your child's teacher. If you have additional questions regarding your child's achievements in the classroom, or you are not able to make either of these conference times, please reach out to your child's teacher directly. The staff directory is listed at the top of this page. 

 

 

 

A safety concern has been brought to our attention regarding the drop off routine in the morning. Some students are being dropped off along Knapp Street, across from the school. Students are then crossing the street at various points to get to the school. This is a concern as this time of day is extremely busy on that street. Students run the risk of not being seen by oncoming traffic, especially on a morning like we had today, where the fog limited visibility. 

If you are dropping your student off on Knapp Street, for the safety of our students, we ask that you do one of the following:

1. Drop your student off on the same side as the school, so they are not crossing the street.

2. If you are dropping your student off on Knapp Street, across from the school, instruct them to walk to the corner where the crossing guard is located (Knapp and 18th) to be safely escorted across the street.

3. If you are dropping your student off on Knapp Street, across from the school, please walk your student across the street. 

We appreciate your help in this matter. We need to be keeping our friends safe at all times. Thank you for your cooperation.
