For safety reasons and to keep in line with set school corporation guidelines we ask that after the activities that you do not go back to the student classrooms (this goes for all grades Kdg - 5). If you need to see the teacher please come to the office and we will call to see if the teacher is available. After scheduled activities the students will be reporting back to the classroom with their teachers to finish out the instructional day.

Reminder - For the safety of our students we do ask that if you pick up your child after school that you either come to the office to pick up your child or you need to see the teacher on duty and we will call for your child. Please do not go onto the playground to get your child without a teacher or staff member knowing.

HAVE YOU CHANGED? As a school, we collect a lot of demographic information on our students that is important in state reports, communications with the home, and emergency situations. Sometimes phone numbers, addresses, places and phone numbers of employers, emergency names, or guardian status changes. We as a school need to know this information to insure that report cards are mailed home correctly, parents can be notified in a timely manner, and reports may be properly filed with the state. If you have had ANY change in demographic information, please notify the office so we can keep our information on you current. Thank you for your help.
