are invited on Tuesday, September 16 beginning at 7:00 PM in the Gym, followed by sessions in
homerooms. Grades 1 – 5 will have their Back-to-School Night on Wednesday, September 17

parent as a representative for your child/teenager. Thank you for your help and cooperation!
Hot Weather Help: Please continue to send in water bottles with your sons/daughters
whenever the humidity and heat are supposed to be high. We hope there are not too many
more days of this heat.
Volunteers are reminded to follow all directives for picking up your badges at the desk. Each
volunteer must sign for his/her badge.
Both Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts are having sign up times currently. Scouting develops
character and is a great opportunity for healthy interaction and values-based activity. Please
consider letting your child join scouts of all levels.

Paperwork: Please return all needed items such as emergency cards, acceptable user
signatures, volunteer forms and other such items to our school if you have not done so already.
