19th Deadline for ordering School Supplies for 23-24 through PTO
Dear Falling Waters Families,
Next week, Monday's lunch offering will be a sack lunch with a sandwich for our field day. To help our kitchen, Please click here to indicate your student(s) lunch choice. With our last day approaching, be sure to check your family's lunch balance as well. Medications will also need to be picked up with Nurse Alicia as well.
Our Field Day is on Monday, May 22nd. We could still use a few volunteers if you might be interested in running a station. Please click here to sign up.
You may have also noticed that any leftover crayons and supplies will be sent home. With that, reading MyBook books will also be sent home. Teachers have utilized the MyBooks all year, with many of the workbook pages done as whole class or online. It's a great resource to read through this summer!
Our last day of school is next Thursday, May 25th with an 11:30 AM dismissal. At this time, I wish you all the very best summer and we look forward to seeing your child(ren) back in August. PTO is offering a package to help make ordering school supplies easier. Click here for that information. For those not returning, we will miss you and wish you the best of your journey ahead.
Thank you!

Reminders:
Be sure to check your online lunch account balance. It is very important that lunch balances are not negative at the end of the year. Remember, any funds remaining in the account will transfer over to the next year.
As the end of the year approaches, some of you may have books for teachers/staff to sign. Due to the amount of activities and busyness during the last week of school, please have anything you would like staff to sign brought into school during the next couple of weeks rather than the last week. We appreciate your understanding!
Please return all library books by: Friday, May 19th.
Thank you to our current PTO Board Members. You have made such incredible impacts to our school!
