School Begins this Monday, August 24th at 7:45. Students need to bring a backpack, reusable water bottle, and a face covering. Just a reminder...we will not have visitors in the building at this time. Our staff will escort students to classrooms. We are looking forward to seeing our students.
WELCOME BACK!


Dear Parents,
Welcome to the first week of the 2020 school year. We are so excited to have students back in our building. A few important reminders....
1. Visitors are not allowed in the building at this time. That means you will need to drop your child off at the front doors on Monday morning. We will have plenty of volunteers to help get your child to the right classroom.
2. Because you cannot come into the building, we encourage you to use our drive-through to drop off your student. We will have ATU softball players welcoming students back with signs along the drive-through. This is a great way to get excited about the upcoming day!!
3. We are moving to an on-line registration system this year. You should have received an email or letter in the mail with directions about how to update your child's information. Please follow those directions if you have the information. If you did not receive the information, please call Ms. Erica at 968-2084 and she can give you the information you need.
4. If you selected Option B or C and have not picked up your child's technology, please come by the school on Monday between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm to pick it up. Your student will be getting assignments this week and we don't want your child to get behind.
If you have any questions about school, technology, or anything else we can help with, please call us. We are here to help and will do everything we can to help you and your child have a great start to this year.

Letters will be going out next week to tell parents and students about the upcoming school year, including who your child's teacher will be. If you have changed addresses this summer, please call our school at 968-2084 and let us know the updated address. If you plan to choose option B or C for your child's schooling this nine weeks, please sign up on our district webpage. Otherwise, we will assume your child will be coming to school for option A on August 24. We are excited about this upcoming year and can't wait to see your children again!!
