Prepare for the Cold Weather!
BRRRR!!!! Please make sure that
your children come dressed for
the weather. Until the wind-chill
dips below 20°, we go outside for
recess, so warm coats, gloves
and hats are a must.
Please remember to
label student clothing.
Particularly for the little ones.
Thank you!
Indoor Lineups Starting this week, we
will begin lining students up inside
each morning. As our hallways get
quite congested please make sure
to drop your students off in the
main lobby at 9:00 a.m. each morn-
ing. Our Gators are just fine lining
up outside of their classrooms on
their own.
As always, feel free to call me
(692-2230) or email me at
[email protected] if I can
help with anything!
No call-downs after 3:30 pm
As a reminder, we will not call
students down to the office
after 3:30 p.m. Students
should be signed out and de-
parture arrangements must be
made prior to 3:30 p.m. After
3:30 p.m., students will simply
be dismissed with
their peers at 3:50
p.m.
Half-Day Dismissal
As a reminder, our half-day
dismissal time is 12:10 p.m.

Veterans Day, Saturday, November 11, 2017 The Origins of Veterans Day -- World War I ended on November 11, 1918. On the same date three years later an unknown soldier from that
war was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. November 11 eventually became the date when America honors all who have served the United
States in war.
On Friday & Saturday, let’s do our part to shake a Veteran’s hand and thank that person for
the freedoms that we enjoy each and every day. Let us never forget their sacrifices...
