Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving Break. It can be tough to get back into the school routine after some time off, but by 9 am on Monday morning the school was bustling and it was as if we had never left! As a reminder, we have three weeks of school and then our Winter Break begins on December 20th and we return on January 7th.
Please remind your students to check the lost and found. With the weather being cold in the morning and warming up in the afternoon, our lost and found is overflowing with jackets and other winter accessories. Thank you!
I received the following message from the Town of Erie Code Enforcement Officer and I was asked to put a reminder in the newsletter:
We have been getting a lot of dispatched calls for parking complaints before and after school, on Balcolm and Moffat St. There are areas that are blocked that are being parked in as well as residents having their driveways blocked.
Thank you so much for your help with this. Have a wonderful weekend!
