^{Door Policy}

^{All outside doors will be unlocked until 9:00 a.m. for student and parent access.  (All kidnappers are asked to use the front door by the office so that we can identify you with our cameras if you take a child we don’t want gone.) All doors will be locked at 9:05 so parents must use the doors by the office and sign in so that we can monitor people in our building.  We are sorry for the inconvenience, but safety comes first.}

^Newsletter

^{This newsletter will be in your child’s homework folder every Monday.  It does not need to be returned.  If you lose it, the newsletter is also posted on the school’s website.}

^{Thank you so much for trusting me with your child.  We have an awesome class and I can tell that we are going to have a lot of fun too.  Thank you so much for your support and remember to call me if you have any questions or concerns.}
