Comfort Closet Now Stocked

Click the arrow on the top right side of this box to see the full text.

Dear Families/Guardians,

We are happy to announce that we have recently restocked our Comfort Closet! For those of you not familiar with this, our Comfort Closet is stocked with items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps, shampoos, socks, deodorants plus so much more!

If your family is in need of any of these items, please make a request using this link: https://sites.google.com/rsu13.org/southparents/services-support/comfort-closet or you can e-mail amitchell@rsu13.org, handerson@rsu13.org or kdrinkwater@rsu13.org. Be assured that all requests are confidential. If your student is attending school in person, we will send the items home in their backpacks – discretely placed. If your student is remote you can arrange a pick-up time.

The Comfort Closet is funded by donations made by our generous community!

Sincerely,

South School

Welcome South School parents! This resource is intended to provide you with all of the information you need as a parent or guardian of a South School student, including support for at home learning, whether it be an extended school shut down, a snow day, or just because you want to help your child practice skills at home. Each classroom teacher has classroom information linked to their landing page and there are general subject resources as well. If you need help with iPads click on the SERVICES & SUPPORT tab, TECH SUPPORT. You will also find information about our lunch program, Comfort Closet supplies, the school nurse and other support services.

We hope you will find all the information about South School that you need on these pages. If there are additional resources you need or if you would like to get in touch with a teacher please click on the contacts tab.

Transportation Changes

Click the arrow on the top right side of this box to see the full text.

Daily Transportation Changes - Important Notice

Please be aware, we are no longer able to accommodate daily transportation changes other than if you request to pick your child up at school. There is no longer the option to request your child to go to an alternate bus stop if parents are running late or for students to take a bus home with a friend.

Please take the time now to make a plan to have an alternate family member at the bus stop to greet your child should an event happen that will keep you from getting your child at the bus stop on time.

We appreciate your help in this matter – it’s just one more necessary protocol we needed to change in order for students to be able to attend school.

Thank you
