special than a Valentine from Mom or Dad?
Please remember that Valentine's Day is for everyone! If your child brings Valentines on Thursday, February 11, please be sure that there is a valentine for each member of the class.

Student Safety
Put student safety first! When students are dropped off and walking in between cars, they are not safe. Once the buses have left the front circle, a staff member removes the chain and parents can use the front circle for student drop-off and pick-up with the understanding that students should ONLY be let out at the sidewalk and not in the middle of the road/driveway. Thank you for your understanding as we all work together to keep our students safe.
KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION
If you have a child that will be 5 years old before August 1, 2016, please contact Mrs. Dunkle in the school office to set up an appointment for a kindergarten screening, or call (314) 983-KIDS. Screenings will begin next week and spaces are filling up, so please call and book yours today!
