Don't forget to make sure your child brings their book bag to school EVERY DAY!

Forget Me Not Shelf
If your child forgets their lunch/snack and you plan to drop it off at school, please be sure to let your child's teacher know in advance. This allows the teacher to check the Forget Me Not shelf and ensure that your child receives what you brought.
Library
Below is the day your child's class will go to the library each week! Please make sure your child brings their book back the DAY BEFORE their library day. We always tell our students to keep their book in their backpack at all times (unless they are reading it) so it is always here at school when it's time for the library!
Haynes: Monday
Lind: Tuesday
Riski: Wednesday
Richardson: Friday
Lunch
If you want to come eat lunch with your child, please let your child's teacher know 24 hours in advance. There are tables outside that you and your child can use to eat together! Our lunch time is from 10:40 to 11:10.
