Building Updates & Other

I hope your summer is going great and that you are relaxing and making precious memories with family and friends!  We miss seeing all of you each day! We are working hard on gettings things ready for next school year.

Building Access Update

You may get into your classrooms beginning Wednesday, June 28th.  The only exception is the 5th grade hall because literacy camp is being held in your rooms; you may come in the afternoons because camp is only a half day.

The floors look beautiful!  Reminder:  You may NOT drag ANYTHING across the floors in your classrooms or the building/hallways.  This includes boxes or rolling items. It will leave marks on our newly waxed floors.  If you need help picking things up to move them, we will have a sign up sheet available at the front office and Tim will be happy to help you.  He is at the school Monday - Thursday this summer.  Make SURE you have protectors on the legs of ALL chairs in your classroom to protect the floors.  We purchased these for all classrooms last year.  If you do not have all of yours you will need to replace them or get tennis balls cut for those chairs.  Please let us know if you have any questions.  Thank you for caring about our building!

Remember: No doors should be propped open (even in the summertime) for safety reasons.  We have students and staff in the building for various summer camps and summer care.

Note: The 4th grade hall will not be accessible at all on Tuesday, June 27th due to summer ACAP follow-up testing for reading. If you happen to stop by the building, please do not enter this hall.
