reminders for the week of Mar 2-6, 2020

Hello Families:

Please remember that anytime there is an Inclement Weather Day on a day when Greek Lunch (Mondays), Pizza Lunch (Thursdays), or Sushi Lunch (Fridays) are scheduled to take place, that the lunch delivery will be cancelled and rescheduled for an alternate date at the end of the term.

Please also remember that anytime your child is going to be absent from school, be it when buses are cancelled or not, you must notify the school. The easiest way to do this is through EDSBY, or you may call or email the school office.

When buses are cancelled in the morning, they will not be running in the afternoon and your children need to be picked up at 3:40 pm. Please communicate in advance with your child as to how they will be getting home at the end of the day.

Here are some other reminders too:

1) Monday is Day 3 of our cycle

2) Wednesday is Library, Day 5 of our cycle

3) Our M.W.W. words for week #14 are sight words and "ug" family words:

         other     about       out      many     bug    hug    rug    mug

Please remember to have them complete their activity sheet and bring back to school by Friday.

4) We are growing!   We might need some extra snacks or a bigger lunch to satisfy us.  Let us help you make lunch! We are great helpers!
5) March newsletter will be sent home on Monday March 2

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or ask.

Have a wonderful last weekend of February with your children.
