Field Trip- Arvada Center 2/1
With a focus on student safety, we will be making some changes to how field trips have been run in the past. First, we are asking that only adults that are chosen as chaperones join us for the field trip. Because your child’s safety is our priority, the assigned chaperone needs to be able to monitor their assigned students in a manageable group. Also, students will need to ride the bus to and from the location and you are welcome to sign them out from the office when we return. We appreciate your understanding as your child's safety is our main priority. -

Winter Shoe Reminder
Please remember to send your student tennis shoes on their PE days. Snow boots are great for the playground, but students need to bring a change of shoes for PE. Any students not wearing tennis shoes will need to sit out during PE, which will affect their daily participation grades.

Kleenex Donations Needed
With the cold and flu season upon us, the classrooms need extra tissues. If you can
pick up some family-size Kleenex boxes while you are out doing your holiday
shopping, we would appreciate it! Boxes can be dropped off at the main office or
with your student’s teacher.
