Good evening Wildcat families! Today grades 3-5 should have brought home a sign up form for the Triple Threat basketball league. These forms do not return to school, they are to be mailed or emailed to the address on the form. If anyone would be interested in coaching the girls team, if we have enough interest, please call Mrs. Rickman at the school. Also, we will be sending check off lists over the next week to students who may need to provide additional school required documents. If your child brings home a form and the items are highlighted, these are items that may not be a document from the school, but something you need to provide a copy of. For example, birth certificates and shot records have to be provided by parents. Information for the first PTO meeting is in the FB post so please check that out! Please call the school if you have any questions. Thank you and have a good evening!
Hat day Fridays sponsored by PTO, $1 to wear your favorite hat. This will be every Friday throughout the school year starting September 4th.

Good evening, Wildcats! We apologize for the lengthy message, but we have some updates that we need to share. Our Pre-K students will be starting tomorrow, Wednesday, August 26th. They will be dismissed at the same time as our K-5 students, so there will be some additional parent pick-up traffic. If you need to buckle your child or adjust a car/booster seat, please pull down to the basketball goals or park so that the pick-up line can keep moving safely. Do not pass in the pick-up line, as some students may be entering the vehicle on the left side. Even with the online enrollment portal, there are a few forms we need in person, so we will be sending home a photograph opt-out form tomorrow. This form only needs to be completed if you do not want us to take pictures of your students for social media or school use. We will also be sending home a PTO sign-up form for anyone who would like to join the PTO. Lastly, we want to welcome families into the school as much as possible, while keeping activities safe and organized. Therefore, we are going to establish a lunch schedule so that if you are able and would like to eat lunch with your child, each grade will have a designated day. Monday-Pre-K, Tuesday Kindergarten and 1st grade, Wednesday 2nd grade, Thursday 3rd grade, & Friday will be for 4th and 5th grade. Pre-K lunch is from 10:40 am to 11:10 a.m.; Kindergarten through 2nd grade is from 10:55 am to 11:25 and 3rd through 5th is 11:35 a.m. to 12:05. All visitors for lunch must be on the student's emergency card. Lunch visitation will begin on Monday, August 31st, so please understand that we will not permit visitors until then. We know this is a lot of information, so please reach out to your child's teacher or the school if you have any questions. Thank you for your support and understanding.
We are currently experiencing a disruption of service for our Internet and our phone system. We are unsure of when this will be resolved, we apologize for any inconvenience..

Good evening, Wildcat families!
Tomorrow is our first day of school, and we are so excited to welcome our Wildcats back! Please take a few minutes to review these important reminders to help our morning and afternoon routines run as safely and smoothly as possible.
Morning drop-off is from 7:00–7:25 a.m.
Students arriving during this time will enter through the cafeteria.
At 7:25 a.m., the cafeteria doors will close. After that time, families will need to use the main entrance and sign their child in through the office.
Our new main entrance is located at the double doors by the ramp on the playground side of the building.
The tardy bell rings at 7:30 a.m.
We have new staff members in our front office who are still getting to know all of our wonderful families. During the first few weeks of school, please be prepared to show identification when picking up your child early. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we learn names and faces while keeping student safety our highest priority.
One of our most important procedures this year involves changes to a student's regular transportation. Transportation changes will NOT be accepted by phone, ROOMS, text message, or any other communication platform.
If your child needs to go home a different way than usual, the school must receive a written note from the parent/guardian.
We understand this may be different from what families have been accustomed to in the past, but this procedure is extremely important for the safety and security of our students, and it will be followed consistently.
Dismissal is at 2:20, with our school buses lining up first and then car pick ups. There will be staff and signs to assist in this procedure. Another important reminder is that we will can not dismiss students after 1:50 for an early dismissal according to county policy.
Thank you for helping us start the year safely and smoothly. We appreciate your patience as everyone settles into new routines, and we can't wait to see our Wildcats tomorrow morning!
We look forward to having an amazing first day!
