TADS Registration/Tuition
We still have a
number of families that need to complete their TADS registrations and/or tuition
agreements. Tuition agreements cannot be set up until registration information
is completed. All agreements must be completed by the end of this week (August
29th). If you are having difficulty with the system, please contact
Mr. Schneck.
Please be aware that the
building opens for students at 7:45 a.m. Please do not send your child in
before that time. Also, no students are to be in the building after school. The
only exception is for those participating in sports, and then, only in
designated areas.
Please also remember our new
drop-off and pick-up procedures for students:
·
PRESCHOOL – AM class drop off
may park in any parking lot, but students should be walked to the Preschool
room entrance. Parents picking up AM students are asked to park in the circle
drive (Cole Road Entrance).
PM class drop off are asked to park in the circle drive and walk students
to the preschool room entrance. Parents picking up PM students may park in any
parking lot.
·
KINDERGARTEN – Parents should
park in the playground parking lot (Macomb Street entrance) and walk their
children in through door “A”. Kindergarten pick-up is at the west school hall
entrance, door “B”.
·
GRADES 1-8 - Grades 1-8 are
dropped off and picked up in the playground parking lot at school door “A”.
At the end of the day, students
are not to loiter in the school hallways but to go right to their vehicles or
wait for their rides in the school entrance, on the school entrance sidewalk
or, if it is raining or extremely cold, along the window bench in the
gymnasium.
Please be aware of children, your own and others, when dropping off and picking up before and after school. Be aware of traffic flow in the parking lot. Please also maintain control of your children in the lot, and BUCKLE LITTLE ONES IN before you take a minute to visit with other parents. Students allowed to play on the playground after school MUST BE SUPERVISED BY A PARENT OR GUARDIAN. Please do not send your children to the playground after school unless you are supervising them or have asked another parent to do so. If you are using the preschool playground gates, please close them behind you. Let’s all work together to avoid accidents and keep our children safe!
School classes start at
8:00 a.m. Students should be in their desks and ready to go at that time.
Bringing your child late to school can be frustrating for them, as they don’t
get proper time to settle in for the day, as well as disruptive for the class.
If you are late bringing your child to school, they must come with a written
excuse from their parent indicating the reason for their tardiness, or you may
also phone into the office to let us know you will be late. Three unexcused
tardies result in one absent day being applied to their school record, as per
our handbook policy.
Whenever possible,
please notify the teacher in advance of any absences. If your child is going to
be absent for the day and the teacher was not notified in advance, please call
into the school office to let us know.
Soccer practices starts
today Wednesday through Thursday, August 25th-26th, from
3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Boys and girls in grades 3 to 8 are eligible. Those wishing
to participate must have returned signed sports forms if they have not already
done so. (Forms were sent home on Tuesday at the Back-to-School Night.) Players
should also make sure they bring their cleats, sports clothes, shin guards, and
water bottles to practice.
ALL STUDENTS
PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS NEED TO HAVE A SIGNED CONCUSSION AWARENESS FORM AND A
SIGNED ATHLETIC AGREEMENT (ONE PER FAMILY) ON FILE. These documents were also
available at Back-to-School Night. If your child in these grades plans on
participating in any extracurricular sports this year, we need a signed copy
for them. Soccer players, please return these signed documents by Friday,
August 27th.
Do you use the Scrip program? This year several school families using
Scrip from last school year to reduce their tuition costs for this school. It
only costs a little bit of your time, but the savings could be substantial. You
can use Scrip for your own family’s tuition, or designate it to help another
school family. More information on the program is available on the school
bulletin board.
A note on illnesses: We are
asked by the health department to continue to be extra-vigilant with regard to
illnesses of any kind. So:
1. If your child is ill with any type of cold or fever
or you suspect they are coming down with something, please keep them home.
2. If you child suffers allergy symptoms, you must send
a note indicating so to your child’s teacher, including if they are using
allergy medication.
3. Please check your child’s temperature if they seem
to be feeling unwell. If a student has a fever of 100.4 F or above they must
stay home until 24 hours after the fever has passed WITHOUT fever reducing
medication. If your child has a fever (100.4 degrees F or above), we must send
them home.
Please be considerate of these
requirements so that we can keep on serving our families safely.
Hot lunches will start up
again in September! We plan to send home a hot lunch order form this week.
We will continue to offer hot
lunches typically on Mondays and Wednesdays, with pizza on Fridays.
Students in grades 6-8 are gearing up for their WELS
area schools Softball Day at Crown of Life, Warren on Friday, September 17th.
