November 9th - November 13th
Save These Dates
There are a few upcoming dates with irregular dismissal times or no school for students. Understanding that these situations often require careful planning for many families, I want to draw special attention to the dates listed below --
Friday, November 13th - Parent/Teacher Conferences - no school for students
Friday, November 20th - early dismissal with NO extended (11:45 Green Gate; 12:00 Gold Gate; 12:15 White Gate)
Previously scheduled as our Grandparents & Special Friends Day, we will honor our loved ones virtually and dismiss early.
December Lunch
December lunch ordering is now open. The deadline is Friday, November 20th.
Wear Your Mask
Please remember that masks are required when picking your child up from extended -- or any time you get out of our vehicle on our campus.
Head Lice
Earlier this week our nurses shared a school-wide communication about head lice. Lice have been identified in several grade levels, so we are encouraging all families to check their child(ren)’s head. There are over the counter treatment options available if you find lice on your child, and we also know that some families prefer to visit Freshheads in Pooler for treatment. Please reach out to our nurses if you have additional questions.
Duke Talent Identification Program
We received word that the Duke Talent Identification Program, aka Duke TIP, is suspending operations through the spring of 2021. As a result, we will not be nominating students in grades 4,5,6, and 7 to that program this fall. Please look forward to the program's return in the fall of 2021.
Did You Know…
November’s Virtue of the Month is Responsibility! Our school counselor, Allison Maher, is working with our students and faculty to talk about what it means to be responsible at school, how we can make responsible choices each day, and how responsible individuals apologize when they make a mistake.
