4. Appropriate
Recess Attire - Now that winter has arrived, we wanted to remind parents
that children will be going outside for recess. The parent handbook states that
boots and snow pants are required if children plan on playing in the snow. For
the student’s health and safety, we are asking students to wear their boots to
and from school. By wearing their boots outside, tracking in snow and water
into the classrooms will be minimized. Thank you for your assistance.
5. Art Smart
Snow Make Up Day – Due to the Snow Day on Monday, Nov. 10th,
that Art Smart day will be made up on December 8th, 2014 from 3-4pm,
for those who were scheduled to attend.
6. Lost &
Found - Are you missing any sweatshirts or jackets? How about a pair of
mittens or a hat? Please come visit our Lost & Found bin and table in the
front entryway. We have a lot of things
that are unclaimed by our students which have been gathered in our lunchroom,
playground, gym and hallway. Please take a minute and look through the items we
have.

missed the ordering window, we have a few items for sale in the office. You are welcome to come shopping in the main
office. Every Wednesday is Spiritwear Day and we invite students, staff and
adults to wear their spiritwear on Wednesdays.
9. Sign Up for REMIND
- The St. Cloud Campus would like to invite parents/guardians to sign
up for REMIND. REMIND is a safe, free and easy way we can connect with parents
through texting. It allows us to communicate with all parents
instantly. Signing up is done through a unique code to Mrs.
Bristow. Please text to 612-260-4578 and in the message enter @ef392. It
is that easy. You will be added on to the parent list. Remind will be used
if information needs to be communicated to parents and using email might not be
the most appropriate form.
“My husband and I think this
is a great way for the school to communicate with parents easily. Learning about the snow day this past Monday
morning was awesome. Having the information quickly and early was a great
help.” Pam M.
10. International
