A Note From Our Principal

We recognize that this is a busy time for many families and are using this month’s school newsletter to include reminders on school closures, communication and more. Please read through this newsletter carefully, and let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Geisler

If you’re not currently receiving photos and daily reports for your child you can easily change this by downloading the Links 2 Home app on your phone. Just type ‘Links 2 Home’ in the search bar for the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. After downloading Links 2 Home you can register with the same email address that you used to enroll your child in our school. Links 2 Home also allows you to leave drop-off notes for your child and notify your child’s teacher of absences. If you’re having issues accessing Links 2 Home please let us know.
School Picture Day
It’s time to get spiffed up for fall pictures! Lifetouch will be taking photos of all of our students on September 16th through the 18th. Please send your student to school in the clothes you want them to wear for their photo. All photos will be taken before lunch and naptime to ensure optimal cuteness.
Security Reminders
Please sign each of your children in and out daily when arriving and departing from school, using the iPad located inside the front entrance.
It is very important that all students’ emergency contacts are always kept current. If you have moved or have changed your home or work telephone number, please update the information in the Alma parent portal, and/or notify the office immediately. It is our responsibility to ensure we release a child only to those adults who have prior authorization. Please also review the list of emergency contacts for your child and update as needed.
