PTO Carnival: WOW!  Thank you to Rachel Richards, Amanda Hall, all of our volunteers, our sponsors, and our families for making the PTO Carnival a great success!  We appreciate all of the support, and it was a wonderful event!


Absences:  Please email the teacher and Ms. Allen at laallen@mpsomaha.org if your child is going to miss school or call the school at (402)715-2020. We would appreciate any details you can share about your child’s illness. 


Traffic: If you are going to enter the parking lot, please park in a stall to unload your child.  The drop off lane is the CURB lane only.  Please don’t create your own drop off lane in the parking lot.  We are working hard to keep everyone safe and we need your help!


Walking Club: Walking Club starts Wednesday, September 6th.  Your child needs their Walking Club lanyard in order to participate every day.


Have a great weekend!
