Holiday Shoppe!!

Preview-Monday at lunch/quiet time (students with money will be allowed to shop) Students will not be allowed in the shop any other time without money.

 If you are sending money with your child, please make sure it is in a baggie or a sealed envelope with their name on the front.  Please do not send your child with cash in their pocket. 

Tuesday - Friday

• Lunch/Quiet Time: Students with Money only. Up to teachers how many students from each class can come shop at same time but the shop will probably have a limit of 10 students at once to minimize risk of shoplifting and reduce lines for checkout
• 3:15 - 4:30: Shop open for students with money or students with a parent

General Rules for the Shoppe

• No money = no shoppe access (except Monday lunch or with an adult guardian)
• No loitering. If you haven't figured out within 10 min what you need, you need to return to class until next day, so another student can come shop. Parent Volunteers should be on-hand to help our littlest shoppers figure out their carts. If there are High School students who would like to be "Buddy Shoppers" during K-4 lunches, we'd be happy to accept 1-2 student volunteers per lunch.
• No backpacks, hoodies, coats or large purses inside the shop
• Shoppe will NOT be open unless there are at least 2 adult volunteers working the shop (Ideally 3-4 per shift)
• Anyone caught or suspected of shoplifting will immediately be reported.

Dear Parents,

Due to the increasingly aggressive nature of the soccer and football play at recess, K-4 is banning the possession and use of all soccer balls and footballs at school for the duration of the second quarter.  We are seeing many fights and a lot of very aggressive behavior that is resulting in injuries daily so we will try again after winter break to integrate sport play into recess.  For the remainder of the quarter, no one is allowed to bring or use a ball on the playground.  Any balls brought to school will be confiscated.  Thank you for your help in this matter.  Please let us know if you have questions or concerns.
