Labeling Items Once again, we are asking parents to please label their children’s belongings. The office is still housing lots of lost items which include fleeces, lunchboxes, gym bags, and lots and lots of clothing items. Unless there is a name attached to these items, we cannot return them to the owner. Please stop by the school office to check out our lost and found. Thank you. End of Day Announcements Normally we do not make announcements at the end of the school day. However, the office is often overwhelmed with numerous phone calls asking to give students messages (sometimes as many as 10-12 calls) at the end of the day. Please let your child know how they are going home before they leave for school. The end of the day is a very busy time in the office. Answering the phone at dismissal time is not always possible due to the many activities going on in the office. We want to make sure all our students get to where they should be after school and are safe. Please help us do that by informing your child how they are getting home before they leave for school. It is always helpful to write a message in their homework assignments pads if there is a change in transportation. We understand that emergencies happen and it may be necessary to call late in the day. Thanks for your understanding.
