Dear Parents,

Below you will find a few reminders and updated information for elementary students, and our extended care program:

Emergency Contact Information:

Our school office hours are from 7:30-4:00. If you have an emergency between the hours of 4:00-5:30 and need to get in contact with one of our extended care teachers or your student, you may call me on my cell phone at 918-766-4567. During regular school hours, please call the school office at 918-333-8631. Please reserve all non-emergency after hour calls for the following day.

Snacks:

Extended care begins each day with snack time. In your child's lunch box, please send an easy to clean up snack that is labeled "extended care".

Student Pick-Up: Signs will be placed on the front doors of the elementary building indicating the location of the extended care program. If your student is being picked up by someone other than the usual pick up person(s), please contact the office during school hours with that information so we can make our teachers aware of the change. If that person is not on your pick up list, please send an email stating the name and phone number of the person who will be picking your child(ren) up. If we are not made aware of the change of pick up, we will kindly ask the person picking your child(ren) up to wait while we get confirmation from a parent/guardian.

Extended care closes at 5:30 each day. Please make arrangements to have your child picked up no later than 5:30. Students picked up after 5:30 will be charged an additional $1.00/minute past 5:30.

Dress for the Weather:

As the weather is transitioning to spring, please be advised that we will spend some time on the playground each day that the weather permits. Please dress your child accordingly and send a jacket to school.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Fredrick
