Welcome Wednesday
Good evening Racer families, this is Ms. Durko with some reminders for the week ahead.
Our first week was a great success and we are looking forward to week two. It was amazing seeing so much excitement in every classroom from students and teachers.
A few reminders: Friday was the last day for parents of 1st through 5th graders to be walked in to class by parents. Tomorrow all 1st through 5th graders should begin coming into the building on their own.
Kindergarten parents can continue walking their students in Monday and Tuesday this week.
Another reminder that all adults that come into the building are required to have their ID with them.
The tardy bell rings at 8:55am each day and students should be in their classrooms and in their seats by 8:55, ready to learn. If a student arrives after carpool has ended, and there are no adults outside, a parent is required to walk them into the office to sign them in.
Don't forget that breakfast and lunch are free for all JCPS students every day.
Lastly, on Monday September 7th there is no school for students or staff for the Labor Day holiday.
We hope everyone has a fantastic week, and remember, once a Racer, always a Racer. Have a good night.

Welcome Back To School
Good evening Racer families this is Ms. Durko with some announcements. Tomorrow is the day! We can’t wait to see all of our first through fifth graders back at school in the morning. Some reminders… We begin letting students in the building at 8:25 and the tardy bell rings at 8:55. At 8:55, we need all students to be in their classrooms and in their seats ready for a great first day of learning. Parents are allowed to walk their students in for the first week of school only. Remember any adult entering the building will need to have their ID with them. We will have lots of staff on hand, directing traffic and helping us at morning carpool. Please ensure that the left lane of the curvy driveway stays open for staff until 8:20 each morning..
Also, tomorrow night is our kindergarten open house from 515 until 630. Kindergarten students who attend will be able to engage in activities in our gym while parents meet briefly with our teachers in the cafeteria. After the parent meeting kindergartners will be picked up and walked to the classrooms with their parents.
We hope everyone has a great night and remember, once a Racer, always a Racer.
