Congratulations to our October Students of the Month: Cherokee – Jasper Vasilevskis Choctaw – Ava Lavigne Shawnee – Reece Curling Chickasaw – Min Kalasikam Iroquois – Andrew Kiepek Eighth Grade – Kailee Lingelbach Eighth Grade – Cameron Allen *Parents please do not pick up your students in the Somerset neighborhood at the end of the day* We need your help at the intersection of Crockett Road and Volunteer Parkway. Apparently there have been several close calls while students are crossing the road in the crosswalk. We are concerned for the safety of all our students so please be aware when proceeding through this intersection that children are present. Thank you for your help. Early Dismissal Process Parents, If your child is going to be dismissed early, please have them bring a note to the office in the morning so that they can get a blue slip. It is the student’s responsibility to leave class at the time on their blue slip. Schedules change and students are not always in the class indicated on the computer. We understand that sometimes appointments are made after the student has come to school. In that case, please call the school in advance of you coming to the school. Students are not permitted to leave their class to wait for you, without a blue slip. Thanks for your cooperation! UPCOMING: Red Ribbon Week This year Red Ribbon Week is October 27th-31st!
