Week of August 14, 2017

Thursday Folder Links:

Open House Next Week:
We will be having an open house next Thursday evening from 6:00-7:30pm. This is a chance for you to visit with your child's teachers and learn more about curriculum and content. We encourage you to visit each of the grade level teachers for your child's grade as they frequently work together to support all students for learning as well as at recess. Administration will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. Students are welcome to join you during this evening. We are excited to have you join us! 

Boosterthon:
Our Boosterthon kickoff was on Wednesday. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and will support the additional funding needed for a shade structure, as well as flexible seating in every classroom. Students will be going on a "castle quest" as the week progresses during their huddle time learning about different character traits.  Please sign up to support during the fun run: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080f4ba4ac22a57-funrun2

Rolling Entry:Our rolling entry has started and has been great! Please remember to have students arrive or leave your vehicle after the 8:20am bell rings for safety reasons. Students may then make their way to the front door or the turf side door and onward to their classrooms. Please make sure that you pull all the way forward in order to allow as many cars to drop off as possible. Please do not drop students off in the inner parking lots as it is not safe. Thank you! 
SAC Elections:
We will be holding elections for the 2017-18 School Accountability Committee Board next week. If you are interested in serving on the SAC board, please submit a short paragraph telling about yourself and why you'd like to serve on the SAC by Tuesday to kirsten.bloomfield@dcsdk12.org. Elections will be held on Wednesday after school during our meeting from 5:00-6:00pm. We hope to see you there! 

Parking Lot Pick Up:
As a reminder, please do not pick up your student(s) along the sidewalk next to the gravel lot. This causes traffic back ups and slows down everyone. Please pull all the way forward and pick up your student(s) near the flag pole area - please remind students that this is where they should wait to meet you. Also, students may not cross and enter the parking lot without adult supervision as it is not safe. Thank you for your help!
