Elementary Newsletter (8/11)

Dear Parents,

Happy Friday! Don't forget that students do not have school on Monday, August 14th! I hope you all had a great week. You should be getting a newsletter from your child's teacher each Friday with details about the upcoming week. If you are not, please reach out to the teacher and make sure we have your correct email information!

Our eStore is back online! Yay! You get to shop from home and have your items sent home with your child! In order to shop, please go to www.MySchoolBucks.com. You will need your child's Student ID; if you don't have it, please contact your child's teacher.

Just a reminder, if your child is arriving after 8:00 and will be tardy, they must be signed in at Mrs. Scott's desk by a parent or guardian. Students may not be dropped off to come in on their own if they arrive after school has started. They must be signed in by the parent or guardian at Mrs. Scott's desk. Being at school on time is a crucial part of a successful day, so please make every effort to have your child at school each day and on time.

Our eTeam Membership Drive starts August 21! If you haven't joined the eTeam, our parent organization, you still can! The eTeam works in partnership with the elementary and the junior high to support our teachers and students through volunteering, fundraising, and bridging the gap between home and school. Unlike some parent organizations, 100% of the membership fees and all other money raised goes directly back to our students and teachers! Our goal is for every class to have 100% membership. The class (or classes) with the most will receive a popsicle party! You can join the eTeam in the eStore.
