Conference
Babysitting
Parents, do you need someone to watch
your children while you attend parent teacher conferences on Tuesday, February
26? If so, you have a fun and friendly option to choose right here at school!
8th graders will be offering their babysitting services, complete with
activities planned, from 4-8 p.m. on conference days in order to raise money
for their class trip to Mackinaw City in May. Take advantage of this convenient
and entertaining (or educational, if your child needs to get some homework
done!) opportunity, and help to support the 8th graders with a donation. Sign
in/out will be in the band/choir room. If you have questions, feel free to
contact Mrs. Oren.

Did
You Know??????
That the sixth grade Environmental
Classroom has a weather station that tells the temperature, wind speed, wind
chill, barometric pressure, and many more things that are happening outside?
The weather station will give us up-to-the-minute weather information so the
kids won’t have to go outside for recess when the wind chill is below
zero. Be sure to watch for the weather
information displayed on the monitors each day.
Thanks, Mr. VerMerris, and the rest of the EC students!!!!!!

End of the Day Pick-Up Procedures
In an effort
to maintain the safety of our students, we have reminded them of the
expectations for car and bus pick-up at the end of the school day. At
dismissal, students are expected to head to the car lines, the bus doors, or
After Care. Parents who are in the building or parking lot should expect
their students to join them immediately after dismissal so we can be sure of
their whereabouts. If your student remains after school for any reason,
he/she is expected to either be in After Care or with his/her parent.
Thank you for reinforcing these expectations to assure the safety of our
students.
I’m
praying that you have a great week full of God’s love!
Thanks
for all that you do for God’s kingdom!
Mr.
Dave
