Students must be in the building by 8:10 or they are counted as tardy. Reading Logs We are asking parents to keep a reading log of the books your child reads at home. For the remainder of the first nine weeks our goal is for students to read at least 20 books. If this reading log is completely filled by the end of the nine weeks (Oct. 6) your child will receive a charm for their necklace from our media specialist. We suggest that this reading log stays in your child’s red folder so it will not get lost. These reading logs will not be accepted after Oct. 6th. If you need to change your child’s regular transportation, please send a note that morning.   If you must call the school, please do so by 2:00 with the change. Sending a note that morning in the red folder is the best way to change transportation. Thanks!
