Message from Mrs. Smith:
Parents, please be reminded that we do not allow edible "Birthday Treats". If you wish to celebrate your child, please send in a non-edible treat (stickers, pencils, etc.) We have many students that have allergies and we are trying to keep all students safe. Thank you for your help with this.
Please remember that ALL visitors MUST show a Photo ID to enter the building. This includes bringing your child in after 7:45 to check them in tardy. We prefer that ALL adults step to the Front Door Camera to show their ID. Once you are buzzed in, you may step to the Front Desk for help. Please help keep our students SAFE by not holding the door for visitors if you are entering and exiting the building.
Bus Rider Parents: Please make sure that there is an adult at the bus stop each day to meet your child. If there is not an adult, the bus will bring the child back to the school. Please use the link below for instructions on how to download the Transportation Ap. This will give you information on your child's bus route and location each day.

Car Rider Parents: You must enter the Car Rider Line from the White Sulphur Road Entrance. Students do not need be dropped off until your vehicle has merged into the one lane that runs in the front of the school. We have adults to assist students in getting out of the car.
Please remember that you must drop your students off where our adults are stationed.
Students are Tardy at 7:45.
Car Riders ends at 2:45.
Students are not permitted to be dropped off in the back or side of the building. Students are not permitted to be dropped off in the front parking lot unless they are checking in late. Students should enter and exit the vehicle on the passenger side.
Thank you for your help with this safety concern.
Updates from Mrs. York:
It's hard to believe we have already completed our first nine weeks period. Report cards were sent home on last Friday (October 16th) in your child's bookbag. If you have questions regarding your child's grades, please reach out to their teacher.
We are looking forward to our Title I Family Literacy Night on Thursday, October 22nd. We hope you and your family will plan to join us for a wonderful evening of activities highlighting literacy.
Carmen Agra Deedy is visiting Deal Elementary on November 17th! We are so excited about her visit. If you're interested in ordering books for her to sign during her visit, look out for an order form.

Medications: All medications should be brought to the school in a new, unopened container. Medication found on a student (without consent to self-carry) will be locked in the clinic until a parent is able to come sign consent or pick the medicine up.
Water Bottles: Students should have a water bottle each day. Please label your water bottles so we can return them if lost. Drinking water can help with headaches, sore throat, stomachaches, and help students to remain alert and focused.
