A Message from Mr. Gloudemans

Hello Lion Families,

I want to first take a moment to wish you an enjoyable and relaxing winter break. I hope your family can find some time to be together and do something you all love. As we transition into the new year, I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone of the expectations for the students.

The school day starts at 8:57 a.m. Students that arrive after this time must enter through the main office doors. Before-school supervision starts at 8:40 a.m. Students are let into the school to eat breakfast at 8:45 a.m. The student day ends at 3:30 p.m. Students can be picked up on the back playground. When you are dropping off or picking up your student, please make sure you are parked. For safety purposes, please do not drop students off in the middle of the parking lot or street.

As the weather becomes colder and snow begins to fall, it is important that all students are dressed appropriately. Students go outside at recess as long as the temperature is above 0 degrees. Students must be wearing boots and snow pants if they want to play in the snow. Students without boots or snow pants will have recess on the blacktop area.

If you need support getting winter clothes for your student, please reach out to the main office.

Make it a great day!

Mr. Gloudemans
