Here are just some reminders to make the last few days of school easier for everyone.

Half Days – the last two days, Wednesday, 6/27 and Thursday, 6/28 are half days. Lunch will be served.  Dismissal begins at 1:00 pm. If your child takes transportation, remember that the bus will be at the stop 2 hours earlier than usual. If your child attends an after school program through transportation, check with the provider to ensure they are open early to accept your child. Bus rout changes cannot be made.

Before and After school care – the last day of Before school is Tuesday, 6/26. The last day of After school is Friday, 6/22. Reminder – if you have a balance due at the end of the year you will not be able to utilize the program services in either building next year until balances have been paid off.

Next School Year – our school hours remain the same 8:30 am – 3:10 pm. The first day back for students (grades 1-8) is Thursday, 9/6/18. The first day back for students (K1-K2) is Monday, 9/10/18. During the week of August 20th all students should be receiving their classroom assignments for the coming school year. Bus assignments will be mailed out in late August. Site Council has voted to keep our current mandatory uniform policy.

Have a happy and safe summer!
