MORNING DROP OFF & PICK UP LINES ~
A couple reminders to parents ~
Keep in mind that our morning Drop Off doesn't start until 7:45. The Waller Staff is still arriving before that time, the kid's entrance doors will then open promptly at 7:45 as well!
We also ask that no children are dropped off prior to 7:45 to play on the playground. There is no supervision outside at that time, and we don't want anyone to get hurt! The magic daily arrival time is 7:45 to 8:00, and the bell rings at 8:05 for the kids to go to class! Thanks so much for your help!
Also, keep in mind that when dropping off, parents are Not to get out of the car - the kids should hop out, and the car line should keep moving! Recently we have been noticing some parked cars, and a backup in the line, that should be continuously moving along once the kids have exited safely.
HEALTH REMINDER
One more item to mention ~ We know there are so many viruses going around this time of year ~ if your child is not feeling well, and won't be in attendance, you are welcome to call their illness/absence in any time day or night prior to the start of the school day. Feel free to leave a message on Mrs. Thomsen's voicemail during non-working school hours. Otherwise, please make that phone call to her before school starts on that particular day, it helps the Teachers and Health Office out immensely.
Thank You So Much for your help!
Mrs. Thomsen: 262-763-0185 ext. 1

LOST & FOUND ~
Yes, this is what we have accumulated in our Lost & Found! And this doesn't include a picture of the dozen or more coats that don't seem to have an owner.
