From the Desk of the Principal
Dear Students and Parents,
In order for us to best educate your child and our students, we are requesting your assistance. Please check to see that your child has all of their daily items prior to coming to school in the morning. We can not constantly call students out of instruction to pickup items that were not brought to school.
On a daily basis, the Main Office is having 10-15 items being dropped off and we can not continue to interrupt instruction by calling that many rooms. IE – Coats, instruments, lunches, homework etc. We realize that a student now and then may have forgotten an item, but 10-15 daily is to many for the office to manage plus the number of times a lesson may be interrupted impacts learning.
Sincerely,
Mr. Lewis
