Covid Update - Nothing new to report! We had only one response from a parent concerning the mask requirements. Again, please let Mr. Birnbaum know if you feel strongly about masks in your child's classroom/building. And now, it’s time for the CARDINAL SHOUTOUT; a place for us to recognize how talented and diversified our students are! Congratulations to all our Ponca City high school seniors! We want to give a shout out to Emma Valgora and Ryan Turnipseed for being in the top TEN of their class.
REPORT CARD PICKUP will be Friday, May 28 (closed for lunch from 1:00 – 2:30). Remember to check your accounts; report cards, certificates, etc. cannot be given out until all accounts are caught up; this includes tuition, daycare, missing library books, broken chrome books, etc. Payments will be accepted on the day of report card pickup. If you are leaving us with a credit in any of your accounts and wish to leave it to a needy family, talk with Connie in the office and she’ll make sure it gets (anonymously) to the account of a family who needs help. CLOSURES - FYI, we have reached class limits in all of our PK down to infants and 7th grade for the new school year. If you have not enrolled and/or paid, you may lose your spot. FLS TRACK MEET, 1ST-8TH GRADES, MAY 7, 10:00 – 2:00!: The yearly track meet is THIS FRIDAY; the schedule is on the following pages. All students 1st grade and up will participate in a school-wide track meet, competing against their classmates. On the day of the track meet, parents are encouraged to attend, and we ask you lend a hand if possible; please contact the office if you can help out for an hour or more. The kids will spend a lot of time outside, so be sure to apply and send sunscreen for the kids to apply during the day if it’s going to be sunny, and send a jacket/hoodie if it is a cool morning (with their name in it of course). Our 7th graders will be running a concession stand, with the proceeds going to fund their trip to Washington D.C. next year. Send money with your student if they wish to purchase lunch or drinks/snacks at the concession stand. If you have dr. appointments scheduled that day and need to pick up your student, please come extra early as it will take time to track down your student at their events. Students have the option of leaving at the end of afternoon events, at approximately 2:00 p.m. Please check out with your student’s homeroom teacher before leaving. (1)
