A few notes… 


Thank you to our PTA for sponsoring our field trips and for the continued support of our school and programs!  Please consider becoming involved in PTA for OR next school year. 

Be sure to sign and return all permission slips for students to participate in field trips.

Sunscreen should be applied at home (for field trips and Olympic games).

Please remember that dismissal is at 3:20 p.m. It is highly disruptive to have students called to the office prior to dismissal.  Please refrain from excusing students early unless you have a pre-arranged appointment.

Also remember that school begins at 9:00 a.m.  Students arriving after 9:10 a.m. must be signed in by an adult.  Please do not drop students off at the curb after 9:10 without coming in the building to sign them in.  This is a safety precaution, as no students should ever be left unsupervised, especially in the front parking lot.


Thank you again for your continued support from home!  Enjoy the summery weather, and we’ll see you at our many upcoming events!
