Family Newsletter - August 14, 2022

Hello everyone-

Can you believe it- we're almost to back to school time already! We can't wait to welcome you all back for the start of an awesome school year! There is a lot of information in the newsletter to prepare you for the start of the year. Please take your time and read it closely so your family is ready for the first day of school on the 23rd.

Thank you to PTO for sponsoring our popsicles on the playground events the last couple of weeks. This was a great way for our families to connect to one another and get the kids excited for the year ahead.

Don't forget that we have our Back to School Block Party on Tuesday evening. Please see the schedule below for your family's designated time. Don't forget to bring your child's school supplies, we are collecting school supply donations, and small children's new underwear. We received feedback last year that having the staggered time in the classroom allowed the teachers more time to connect with each family because they were spread out across the two hours. We will have informational tables set up in the cafe- please be sure you come down to complete required paperwork, pay fees, and get information to register for school events, volunteering, and student clubs. Outside we will have food available for purchase, a DJ, and face painting. We hope to see you!

The newsletter will now be coming every Sunday at 9:00 am. We will begin having a PTO newsletter in September. This is based on feedback from our community in an effort to shorten the principal newsletter and better identify which events are PTO vs. school events.

Please join me in welcoming Nurse Cyndi Rudder to our staff for the '22-'23 school year. Nurse Cyndi has been subbing for us in '21-'22 and will now be our nurse moving forward. We are excited to be able to have her stay with us to offer continuity of care for our students, staff, and families. Welcome Nurse Cyndi Rudder!

I will be turning 40 on Monday, the 22nd. To celebrate, I am taking Friday the 19th off. I will not be responding to email the 19-21st unless it is urgent. If you email during this time, I will return your email or phone call on Monday, the 22nd.

Please reach out at any time to share any questions, concerns, or ideas. I am here to help and support you and your family. Thanks for all you do to help keep our students and staff safe.

Take Care-

Angeline
