https://docs.google.com/document/d/19iQeSZyDbqZnmtgJGQiXywxUuob0GErHDcxNYR3LXkw/edit?usp=sharing
The tardy bell rings at 7:40 am. and staff close the doors to start class. Students need to arrive BEFORE 7:40 am. to safely access the back doors of the school. If a car rider arrives after the doors are closed, please drive your child to the front entrance of the school and walk them up to the doors to ring the bell so that he/she can come through the office for a Tardy Pass. Thank you!
Parents please use the ride change form link to communicate your child's ride change by 2:00 pm. We will not release students without confirmation from parents regarding ride changes
If you are picking your student up early for an appointment, 2:30pm is the latest we will be able to release students.
This month's character trait is Empathy
September Wellness Challenge From Coach Breckley and Coach Jeffrey
Last year, the Cox Elementary staff started a new fitness challenge using the Vizer app that encouraged them to either work out for 30 minutes a day or walk 10,000 steps a day. Each day that they accomplished that goal, they were able to use the Vizer app to donate a meal to families facing food insecurity, at no cost to themselves. Last school year the Cox Elementary staff donated over 5000 meals during the school year. As an incentive, if staff met the monthly goal, they could participate in Warm-up Wednesdays and wear workout gear each Wednesday.
This year, we would love to extend that to our school community so we are introducing our Cox Elementary Community Fitness Challenge starting on September 1. We would love for parents to take a look at the Vizer app ( free and available for both Apple and Android devices) and consider using it as a motivational tool to help get you moving. It’s kind of a win-win! You move, you help someone! In addition, we are introducing a monthly fitness challenge for our students (and families) to encourage them to move outside of school. We would love for students to complete activities on each monthly calendar and join their teachers in our Warm-up Wednesday! There’s nothing to turn in, just track your activity on your own.

Visitors at Lunch
Due to limited space, we will be limiting the number of guest allowed per grade level lunch. Only those who have signed up on the sign up genus link will be able to eat lunch with their child. All visitors will need to check in with the office using their valid driver's license or government issued ID.
We have tables set up outside the cafeteria in the hallway designated for lunch visitors. Only you and your child will be able eat at the parent/student tables. No friends allowed. Lunch guests will need to bring their own lunch.
When your child's lunch time is over, visitors will need to come directly to the office and check out. For safety and security reasons, parents cannot follow students to their classroom or the playground.
In order for all parents to have the opportunity to eat lunch with their child, you may sign up for only 2 slots per student per grading period.
There are some dates that will be blocked for lunch sign ups due to events or changes in schedules.
Pre-K, ECSE and PACEE reach out to your child's teacher to schedule.
