The children have been enjoying the warmer temperatures and recesses outside… the teachers too!
The faculty & staff are already beginning to make plans for next school year. One of the regulations is that each child’s file will need a copy of the child’s birth certificate. If you’d like to get a jump on this, we can accept the copies anytime now. If you need a copy made, we can do that for you also. Just bring the birth certificate to the office and we will make the copy.
With May comes the "shorts season" From May 1 until the end of the school year the children may wear shorts. Please check ahead of time to make sure the shorts are in compliance with the dress code rules in the school handbook.
Many classes are doing achievement tests, so please try to make sure the children eat properly at breakfast and have plenty of sleep
-Pam BillotteNOTE: The next "Charger" will be sent home with our students May 07. If you would like to post something in our newsletter, articles need to be in by the Wednesday before they go home to allow time for them to be typed and printed. For more information, please call Lora at 529-3307.
April Chapel Offerings
This month Chapel Offerings will go to Lutheran High School.*Reminder, everyone is invited to attend chapel at 8:45 am on Wednesdays with our children. The schedule for chapel leaders in the next few weeks is:
April 21 - Frank Parris April 28 - Pastor Koschmann
May 5 - Camp Cilca May 12 - Dan Henschen
Tardy Policy: After 3 tardies in one quarter, a child’s guardian will receive a warning notice or phone call. Upon receiving the 4th tardy, the child will stay after school on the next Thursday from 3:30-4:00 doing a grade appropriate writing activity in silence in the classroom assigned for tardy duty. A child will serve a tardy detention for each successive tardy after the 4th until the end of the quarter. At 4:00 the child will be delivered to extended care where the child may be picked up for the day. Extended care fees will be charged for all children serving the tardy detention. At the end of each quarter the number of tardies previously accumulated will be erased, and the student will start over. Do not forget, if your child is getting to school late, they need to go through the office and get a slip for their teacher.
Anytime you have a question please do not hesitate to call the office. -Thank you, Sharon & Lora
