Many STILL have not turned in their pre-registration and verification of address forms. This must be turned in before your student can be scheduled for classes next year.
The dress requirements for the Award's Day program are no shorts, bluejeans, t-shirts, or tennis shoes. For girls, dresses, nice capris or pants---nor shorts, skorts, spaghetti straps or other clothing that does NOT meet school requirements.
Jump for Heart always conducts our field day which will be on Friday, May 8th. The field day will NOT happen without the help of our parents. Our time is 8:00-10:00 that day, so please volunteer to help if at all possible! Lastly, in order for your child to participate in field day, they need to return the permission slip portion of the notice that went home. I have discussed with them the fact that they DO have to return that in order to participate. If you have lost it/thrown it away, just write a note saying that they have your permission to participate.
