Welcome Sam Michals to our sixth grade on Tuesday, October 10. We are glad that you are with us!
Each morning we have a Dress Code Check and we are finding more students are NOT wearing dress code socks. Socks are part of the dress code and students will receive a check and have to wear the dreaded ‘school socks’ if they persist being out of dress code.
Safety First – Several families have taken to dropping tardy students off at the Morrison Street doors and having students cross the street to the school entrance. The safest route if you are tardy past 8:10 is to park in the church lot and walk/watch your child enter the Morrison St. doors. Before 8:10 tardy students can be dropped at the Johnson Street doors. Even with the sign and lights flashing, cars do not always stop for anyone in the crosswalk.
Blessings to all for a long weekend. Enjoy the beauty of this wonderful season.
Mrs. Peg Bodinet
Interim Principal
