As you are planning your family’s schedule this week, please keep in mind the following events (for detailed information regarding the events, please check Edline):
If you have registered an over-the-counter or Rx medication for your child, please make plans to pick up the medication personally from Mrs. Glorioso, R.N., by the end of the day on Tuesday, May 21. No medications of any type will be released to children or sent home in backpacks. If you choose, you may leave non-prescription medicine in our locked cabinet over the summer; if not expired, it may be used for the student again upon receiving a new 2013-2014 Medication Authorization form in the fall.
WOW! The year will be coming to an end on Thursday, May 23! On this day, we will transport all of the children to St. Francis of Assisi for our final Mass honoring our departing 6th grade students. Please make plans to attend the Mass with your child as dismissal will be directly from St. Francis following the Mass. Remember there is no ACE on this day, so you must come to St. Francis to pick up your child who will be dismissed directly from Mass. Please refer to Edline for the carpool procedure for dismissal following the Mass at St. Francis.
