On the last day of school, Tuesday, June 4, students will be dismissed at 11:45. Please make sure you have arranged to meet kids at the bus stop or pick up at school. This time is different than what the county originally had planned. Report cards will be sent home with children. If your child is not at school Tuesday, please stop by and pick the report card up. Have a great summer and remember to keep your kiddos reading.
Friday is field day! Students should wear tennis shoes and comfortable clothes, put on sunscreen and bring a towel. They will be outside most all day. Permission slips are needed for the bounce house. If your child didn't bring that to you, please fill one out tomorrow morning. K-4 teachers are giving out awards tomorrow also.
Cookie dough orders are coming in ahead of schedule. Orders can be picked up between 2-4 pm on Thursday, May 23 in front of the school under the awning.
Our Pre School parent lunch and "Oreotation" is Wednesday, May 22. Parents have been invited to lunch starting at 11:30. The cost is $3.60 per adult. Exact change is preferred. After lunch, it will be Kindergarten orientation. Parents and students will visit the kindergarten classroom for a treat and important information about Kindergarten for the fall.

We will have a hotdog dinner, show off our students' artwork, and the book fair will be going on. Be sure to take our survey when you get here to give us your feedback on our school. It is midterm time! If you haven't checked Schoology for a while, please do so. Check for missing work. If you don't have a Schoology account, third, fourth and fifth graders can show you their grades themselves. I would encourage everyone to set that up so you can check frequently for grades or missing assignments your child may have.
We continue our end of year testing for third, fourth and fifth graders tomorrow and Thursday (fifth only). Be at school before 7:45 please.
Tonight from 5-8 is McTeacher Night at Hurricane McDonalds. Please stop by to help out the fifth graders for their end of year trip.
