Announcements
Monday 8/21- Solar Eclipse: Please let us know if your child will not be attending school.
Absences will be excused. We will be providing NASA-approved protective glasses for each
student who attends, and will provide the opportunity to watch the eclipse.

Any parent that wishes for their child to NOT view the eclipse outside may send an
email to their childs teacher requesting that their child STAY INSIDE during the
eclipse. Students remaining inside will watch the eclipse through the Promethean
boards. We request you email your teacher with the request for your child NOT to view
the eclipse NO LATER THAN Monday, August 21 at noon.

Carpool/Carpool Numbers- We have attached luggage tags to your students book bags
displaying his or her carpool number. Please be sure to keep this tag on your childs book bag,
as well as to display this number in your windshield during carpool (either using a decal, or
writing it under the childs name on a large piece of paper).

Third-Topia: If you would like to donate any items to our treasure box, please send them in
with your child! We would love if any parents would be interested in donating a basketball,
soccer ball, and a football to purchase as some of the larger treasure box options.

Reminders
Please check your childs folder and agenda daily. The agenda contains important
information regarding assessments, assignments and projects. It also contains assignments
from the day that may need to be completed as homework.

Please try to remind your student to bring two snacks each day. We are letting them know it
is their responsibility to make sure they pack them.

If your child brings home work in the Not Finished Yet section of the daily spiral, that work
needs to be finished as homework. This work should be turned in the next day.

Chapel is every Tuesday morning. Please have your child wear the chapel uniform and proper
accessories (ties and cross-ties).
