On the book order that was sent home this month, I did have today, November 22, noted as the due date. I have not yet sent in this order. If there is something that you would like to order for Christmas, there is still time. Also, I probably will not send home a December or January order form, but all of these things are available online using our classroom code - DWNVD.
Included in this order are my Christmas gifts for the students, so I will need to have this finalized by the end of November, but I can wait until the end of next week if anyone would like to still get anything in before Christmas. Just enter the order online, or send in the order form and payment before Thanksgiving Break. If anything is for Christmas and you do not want your child to see it, please let me know and we can make other arrangements to get it home.
Thanks so much!!

Reminders & Up and Comings
I just have to say that I cannot even believe that it's already Thanksgiving next week and that Christmas Break is only aobut 3 1/2 weeks away!! I don't know where this time has gone, but we have been working so hard!!
Thank you to everyone who was able to make it out for conferences! We really appreciate your flexibility in schedules to squeeze our 15 minute meetings in! :)
New Pick-Up/Drop-Off Procedure
Our new process started Monday, November 18th. There have been some bumps and changes. We're doing our best to work all of the bugs out, but for the most part things are going well! Thank you so much for complying with our new rules!! I know that changes are not always fun or easy, but these changes are put in place for the safety of all of our students and to ease some of the congestion in our hallway. Here are some of the main changes:
- Morning Drop-Off: Please drop your child off at the school doors. There is no need to walk them to their classroom. Earliest drop off time is now 7:40 am and class begins at 8:05am.
- End of the day: All students that are being picked up at the end of the day will need to bepicked up in the elementary cafeteria. Students will no longer be walking to the office, waiting by their locker or their classroom, or even waiting outside the bus doors. There are just too many people in our hallway all going in different directions and it is becoming a safety concern.
- The doors at the south side of the elementary cafeteria near the dumpsters will be unlocked for parents to enter, sign out their child, and then exit the building.
If you have any questions regarding these procedures at all, please feel free to give us a call. Thank you for your help and support in this matter.
