Here are just a couple updates as we get this school week under way.
Dismissal
Our new dismissal procedure went quite well today, so thank you for your support. Just as a reminder, or in case you didn't know, we will be dismissing walkers and students being picked up first, at 3:10, then we'll do our bus dismissal immediately after that. If you arrive before 3:10, you are welcome to pull into the bus loop (even) or side lot (odd) rather than wait in the road. At 3:20, we will stop the cars to allow the buses into the bus loop. Today, most of our cars were actually finished before 3:20, which was great! Thank you again, and please give us a call if you have any questions.
Grades 3 & 4 Concert
Finally, after two long years, we will have our first OR concert Tuesday evening, December 7, at 7:00 in the high school auditorium! Our children are so excited to perform for you, and it's a very big deal for them to be in the auditorium. Here are a few hints to help all of you, first-time concert parents!
- Students need to be at the high school at 6:45. Enter through the fine arts door, closest to the Applebee's side of the building, then we will direct 3rd graders to the orchestra room and 4th graders to the chorus room.
- 3rd graders will keep their coats with them when they go to the orchestra room at 6:45, and parents of 3rd graders will go and be seated in the auditorium. The 3rd grade chorus will perform first, and then they will return to the orchestra room when they finish performing. We will bring the 3rd grade children with their coats out to you in the auditorium after the 4th graders finish performing.
- 4th grade parents, you will drop your child off at the chorus room at 6:45, and you will keep your child's coat with you when you go to be seated in the auditorium. After the 4th graders perform, we will dismiss them from the risers to you, parents, in the auditorium.
- All guests, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask the entire duration of your stay in the school.
- Have FUN!
#PositivityInAction
This week our children are focusing on the Other People Matter Mindset by learning how our words and actions affect others. Speaking of which, I must extend a HUGE thank you for the food and gift contributions you all have made. These actions surely affect people positively!
Enjoy the week!
Sincerely, Jeannette Clark
