Monday

Grandparent's Day

Grandparent's Day is scheduled for Friday, September 9.  Due to an increase in enrollment, we will have three programs to accommodate our grandparents for grades K4 through 6th in the cafetorium.  This change has been reflected on the school calendar.

This is a time for children to invite grandparents, godparents, or a special visitor.  Unfortunately, we do not have the space for our parents; therefore, we reserve this program for grandparents and special visitors only.

The first program for K4 through 2nd Grades will begin at 8:30 am.  The second program for 3rd and 4th Grades will begin at 10:15 am.  The third and final program for 5th and 6th Grades will begin at 1:00 pm.

After each program, the grandparents will be invited to visit the book fair.  All elementary teachers have a wish list in the library if anyone would like to purchase books for the classroom.

Please understand that children MAY check out with their grandparents or special visitors but that teachers will be on campus until 3:15 pm.  Therefore, checking out is not a requirement, only an option for this special day, and any student left at school will have something to do.

Also, please help us to emphasize that this is a regular school day for grades 7-12 and checking out is not an option for these students.
