The Girls Modified Soccer Team played a solid Bishop Ludden Team on Friday losing 4-0. The girls had a few unlucky breaks in the first quarter which was hard to battle out of, but the girls played hard and never gave up demonstrating great perseverance. Stepping up and playing fearless in goal and making some excellent saves was Eshter “The Enforcer” Horning. Come cheer on the girls last home game on Tuesday at 4:30 when they battle Faith Heritage on the new turf field at the high school. Remember that practice is in our gym today at 3:00, make sure you have your sneakers. Keep up the hard work, girls. Go Bears!
Parent Notes and Reminders
PARENTS' NOTES AND REMINDERS
Lost and Found: Please have your child check our lost and found if they are missing items.
Absences: Regular school attendance is critical to a student’s academic success. All absences and tardies must be reported by calling the school at (315)687-2800.
Excused Absences are absences or tardies due to personal illness, family illness, a death in the family, religious observance, education, and/or appointments with doctors, dentists, or other health professionals. We are required to have on file a written excuse from the parent or guardian giving the specific reason for the absence. The excuse should be sent to school with your child on the day of his/her return.
Arrival: Students begin their academic tasks at 7:33 AM. Students should arrive at school no later than 7:30 AM. We encourage you to use our school transportation system daily. However, if you are dropping your child off, please use the designated area near the cafeteria, not in the front of the building for safety reasons. (5 - 8 students can arrive between 7:10 - 7:30 AM.) If you are dropping off after 7:30 AM, please call the main office to advise them you have arrived.
Tardiness: Prompt arrival at school is expected of all children. Late arrival disrupts class and causes loss of instructional time. Any children arriving after 7:30 AM need to be signed in. The student will then be issued a Tardy Pass to enter his/her classroom. This also applies to children coming in late from the doctor or dentist.
Dismissal: Students are dismissed at 2:12 PM. If you need to pick up your child earlier, please send a note to school with your child or call the school office. If you need to pick your child up at any time during the school day, please come to the office, sign them out, and ask that they be called from class.
Parking: Please be aware that there should be no parking in the bus loop in the back parking lot while picking up your student. It is illegal to park in the no parking area. Parking in the bus loop area also blocks our buses from loading and unloading the students.
Please be considerate of others while picking up your child and park in the designated student pick up area in the back parking lot. Students should use the crosswalk to get to your vehicle.
Item drop-off: Although students are encouraged to become responsible for their own belongings, we realize that on occasion an item may have to be delivered to a student from home. Those items can be left in the office, and we’ll see that the students get them.
Bus Passes: When it is necessary for your child to ride another bus home in the afternoon, a specific, written request must be sent to the school with your child. This written request must state the reason for your child to take another bus, where she/he is going (name and address), and the bus number she/he is to ride. Incidences of students riding other buses should be kept to a minimum, i.e., they should be requested for child care.
