Good afternoon Panda families,

Welcome to the week of August 24th. This is Ms. Hasson with your weekly update. 

This week on Friday, August 29^th, we will have fall picture day. Students are to come in uniform for Fall pictures. There will be an opportunity in the spring to have pictures taken out of uniform. Please send your payment with your student as there are no late payments accepted by the picture company.

FAST testing will begin with reading testing in kindergarten, 1^st, and 2^nd grade this week. Be on the lookout for parent letter coming home explaining the assessment. Be sure your student gets plenty of sleep and a good breakfast before testing. 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th grade students will begin testing the week of September 8^th.

Parents a few reminders: we are a uniform school. Students must come in a polo shirt, of any color, with black, blue, or khaki bottoms. No jeans or leggings of any kind.

The front of the school is not a drop off or pick up area for students. This includes the parking lot out front. The front parking lots will be closed to anyone that is not preK from 8:15am until 8:40am. Please utilize the carline. Also, there is no early release/student pick up in the front office after 2:20pm. If you need your student between 2:20 and 2:55 please make arrangements to pick the  student up before 2:20. We will not release any students after 2:20.
