We're Peanutty about Primary PTO!
On September 29, we will send home nut sale information. All Primary students are invited to participate. This successful annual event is sponsored by the Parent Teacher Organization. The sale includes a wide variety of nuts and treats. The timing of the sale gives your family, friends and acquaintances the chance to buy for holiday baking and entertaining. The proceeds help us to buy materials like library books and classroom teaching materials, and support school programs like Greene County Parks and Recreation teaching visits and Dayton Philharmonic visits.

We are fortunate to have a very active parent organization in our school! Please consider becoming a part of this fine group. Officers for this year are: President Krista Harding; Treasurer: Amy Eakins; Secretary, Jenny Sigfried. Other leaders include Homeroom Coordinators: Krista Vipperman and Alyson Whitehead.

Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?
Students have many personal items like lunch boxes, sweaters, hats, and jackets. Sometimes, they set these down and forget where they have put them. Help us and help yourselves by clearly marking your child's name on any personal items that comes to school. At the end of each year, our lost and found box is full and overflowing with perfectly good clothing and other items that we cannot give to the owners because they ar not marked.

Miscellaneous

  • Please return all forms promptly so we will have accurate records for you and your child
  • Please call the office before 9 AM if your child is absent
  • Students are not allowed to make up work without a note after an absence
  • Students are not to bring toys or radios to school. Teachers may give permission to bring them on special days

Lunch Tickets
Lunch tickets are helpful for our students. Here are some reminders:

2. Tickets are available the first day of a week in the office.
3. Paying by check is best, but cash is also accepted.

   Working Together

Getting a good start to the day is vital. Use this list of practical ideas to use with strategies you are already using. Together we can make it a great day!

  • Plan wake up time that gives children plenty of time to get moving, eat breakfast, and get ready without rushing.
  • Lay out clothers and supplies the night before.
  • Establish storage areas for bookbags, lunch boxes, lunch money, homework and clothes to prevent having to search for them.
  • Set aside time to talk. When you take the time to say even a few words, you are reminding your children that you care.
  • Make you last words to them in the morning positive and pleasant.
