One Book One School

• One Book One School is a month-long celebration where the entire school reads the same book.  Students read the book at home with their families, and we celebrate what they learn here at school.
• This year we are reading the book, Frindle.  Every student will receive a copy of the book to keep. 
• Activities will be coming home weekly.
• All students that complete two activities at home will be eligible to win a free Hershey Bears ticket!
• We will be holding a Change Wars.  Each grade level will have a made up word that will be displayed in the front lobby next week.  Students can send in loose change to vote for their grade level’s word to win the competition.  All funds raised will benefit our PTO.
• Our kick-off event is 2/10 from 4:30-6:00pm.  We hope to see you there!

Attendance

• Please send excuses for your child’s absence to school within in three days of an absence.  You may send in a paper copy or email our secretary, Mrs. Larouche, at [email protected]
• If you are planning a vacation or other school absence, please be sure to request a prearranged absence form.  These should be turned into he office for approval before your child’s absence.

Arrival & Dismissal:

• Arrival begins at 8:20am.  Students may not be dropped off until then. 
• The tardy bell is 8:35am.  Any students arriving after that time will be marked tardy.
• Please drop students off in the car line through our parking lot, not the bus loop.
• Dismissal begins at 3:20pm. 
• Please communicate with your child’s teacher about their dismissal plan.
• All students picked up by car must have a car tag.  Please stop by the front office between 9:30am-2pm in order to pick up a car tag if you were not able to at Back to School Open House.  Students without a car tag will not be dismissed via the car lane.
• Display your car tag at dismissal each day.  You may not exit your vehicle in the car drop off or pick up lane.  Your child needs to be able to buckle themselves.
• We will not change a child’s dismissal plan unless we hear from a parent or guardian.  Please call the school or contact your child’s teacher if their dismissal plan is changing before 2:30pm.
• If you are planning for your child to be picked up early, please arrive before 3:10pm.  No students will be dismissed early after that time.
• See the attached map with a visual for how dismissal and arrival flows on our school’s campus: Arrival & Dismissal Map
