There is no Wednesday PBIS activity scheduled for next week as we don’t have school on Wednesday. However, we have Camp Read Away scheduled for Tuesday in the gym from 10-11. Please have 6th-8th graders come to the gym at 10:00 am to receive instructions for setting up their fort for their group. I will have the supplies they need. Then please plan to have 3K-5th grade students join us at 10:15 am to read together in their forts from 10:15 am - 10:45 am. At 10:45 am, 3K-5th grade students will head back to class, and the 6th-8th graders can help me pick up. I will have more detailed plans by Monday morning in the Whole School PBIS Plan document. Thanks!

Weekly Update for November 6, 2023

    

God's Blessings on your week!

All Staff

BOTR - Parking will be a major challenge in November, with a lot of work in the parking lot. We will see a shrinking lot, culminating with no lot access from November 16 to November 21. Art will be contacting our neighboring church to see how many spots we will be able to use when our lot is closed. Beginning on November 10, we will move to Gym/Activity center pickup and run this through December 1. We will also make the playground parking lot available for parents to park for end-of-the-day pickup from November 10 to December 1.


Faculty

You can find the next Eagle here. Please make all updates by Wednesday at 2:00 PM.


When you send kids to the office for early pickup, please remind them to go to the office. Twice this week, we had kids head outside instead of meeting their parents in the office. 


SOAR

We will be in the gym on November 8th. The plans will be available by Monday morning in the Whole School PBIS document.
