Learning Packet Pick-up starts at 5:30 tonight until 7:00! Parents will be instructed to get out of their vehicles and pick up their student's packet and bag of belongings,if the have any, off the table. We will doing this the same way on Friday. Reminder that all 5-8 grade can be picked up outside of the new gym.
Message from Mr. Morrow: This upcoming Thursday, May 7, and Friday May 8, we will be handing out the last educational packets put together for your students. For those students who had belongings here at the school, teachers have bagged and labeled all the materials from the students' lockers and desks. Those belongings will be handed out at the same time of packet pickup. June 2 will serve as the last day to hand in these new packets and a time will be set up to collect any electronic devices. This pickup will be a little different than last time, because we have belongings to distribute. You can drop off your completed packets at this time also.
Bus Delivery: If your child has breakfast and lunch delivered to your home, they will receive their packet, lunch, and belongings with that delivery on Friday, May 8.
Pick-up: Pick up times will be: Thursday, May 7, from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM or Friday, May 8, from 9:30 AM - 1:30 PM
Please Note: The main entrance near central office/middle school will be blocked off to help the flow of traffic.
ELEMENTARY PARENTS should enter 5th Street off from Maple Street. This is the same way morning drop offs have occurred. The elementary staff will be there to assist you. You will then continue straight to US 131 to exit. If you also have middle or high school students, you can proceedd to those two pickups by taking a right into the 5th Street gym parking lot to those areas.
If you do not have an elementary student, please enter the school complex by turning off from US 131 onto 5th Street as if you were heading to the 5th Street Gym. You will then enter the parking lot by taking a left and proceeding to the middle school and high school. Please keep in mind that on Friday from 10:30 AM - 12:30PM there is lunch pickup also using these lines. If you are not picking up lunch, please try not to pick up the materials during this time, because the wait time will be longer.
I know this may be a bit confusing. We will have staff to help assist in directions, and we will post a video on our Facebook pages no later than Tuesday, May 5th, that will demonstrate the different pickups.
We hope you are healthy and well. It seems as though some of the stay at home restrictions are lifting soon, and we hope to return things back to as normal as possible when we are allowed. I appreciate all of the hard work the parents and staff have put in to helping the students being as successful as they can during this difficult time. I will send out more information regarding the final packet and electronic device pick up the week of May 25th. We look forward to seeing you next week!
Sincerely,
Leonard Morrow
