Welcome Back and Happy New Year!
I hope everyone enjoyed their time off from school, had a wonderful Christmas, and a happy New Year! I hope you were able to spend time with family and friends and did what is most important to you. Now it’s time to get back into the swing of things, back to a schedule and routine. We can think about our next vacation in February. But let’s not, we’ve had a long time off, and we’ve got to get back to work!
School Uniform-Dress Code Policy
As we get back into school, now would be a good time to review the school uniform policy. Please be sure your child is in the correct uniform each day.***Gym days are scheduled on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.***Leggings are only to be worn for warmth, under the girl's dresses, not as pants. ***School shoes should be worn in school, not boots. If your child wears boots to school because of the weather, then students should bring shoes to change into. ***Sneakers are for gym days only.
Thank you for your help with this matter. *If you are unsure of the uniform dress code, please click the sub title under my name titled Uniforms/Dress Code or read about it in the Parent/Student Handbook. Thank you.
Service Project Thank you!
Thank you for your donations that were given to Dexter House at Christmastime. Your kindness and generosity was greatly appreciated. The seventh graders walked to the nursing home, delivered the items, and brought happiness by singing Christmas carols to the residents. What a great service project! Thank you for your help.

The third week of Advent.
This is our last week before Christmas vacation which starts Friday at 2:00.
Reminder for Monday
Drop off is at church for pageant practice.
Thanks.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Thank you to those who were able to make it to parent conferences last week. I know the weather was not cooperative, but I appreciate YOU for making it a priority. It is always nice to discuss your child’s successes as well as any challenges they may face. The success of your child’s education can’t be done by me alone, your help given at home is valuable. You know what they say, “Teamwork makes the dream work.” I look forward to continuing our work together as the year moves forward. Thank you for your home support!
December Service Project Due December 17th
For the Dexter House, we are collecting hair brushes, body spray, adult socks, and stuffed animals for their senior citizens residents. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. What a nice lesson to teach your child to help those in need, especially during the holiday season. The middle school will take the donations along with them as they visit and sing Christmas carols. Thank you for any donation you can give.

Some helpful hints for the evening of the pageant
**Please have your child use the bathroom before leaving home.

**Parents must stay for the duration of the pageant.
**Children cannot be left unattended to be picked up later.
**If your child is not attending, please let us know.
**Please listen and follow Mr. Lane’s directions for dismissal. It can get a little chaotic. Please let’s follow the procedure like we do at daily dismissal. PLEASE, do not take your child without me being aware that you have your child at the end of the evening.
