This prayerful decision was made to allow time to prepare for Sabbath observance. While our goal is to honor this special day of theweek that God bestows upon us and to receive His blessings, we recognize that this may present a hardship for some families. Pleasedo not hesitate to contact us if our new hours present a problem for you. As always, we are here for you.

FOOD ALLERGIES

On behalf of our students with food allergies, we are requesting that if you are hosting, sponsoring a party or sending food to school thatyou label foods that contain nuts, peanut oil or peanut butter. As a school family, we have put controls in place to continue to make FLECa safe place for all our students.

HELP OUR TEACHERS!

Many classrooms are being disrupted between 2:45-3:00 p.m. and we need your help. It is our desire for teachers to utilize class timeeffectively and would like to request that disruptions be kept to a minimum. Also, if you would like to see a teacher we ask that you waituntil after dismissal, call or e-mail for an appointment. The FLEC Receptionist is happy to deliver messages, lunches, books and papersto your child. Thank you so much for your cooperation in this matter.

DISMISSAL

Remember school is out at 3:15 pm. Please note that it is disruptive to learning when parents come to theclassroom door at 2:50 or 3:00 to get their child. Please be patient and wait till the class is dismissed, youcan meet your child as the class leaves the classroom. Thank you for understanding and helping theteachers utilize those last minutes of the day.

Choose a Lane - Please remember to be extremely careful and patient when driving on campus. As youturn into the school drive please use the right lane if you are picking up from behind the school (5ththrough 8th grader riders) and the left lane if you are picking up children in front of the school (Pre-Kthrough 4th grade and multi-grade riders). Remember to be considerate; yield to your neighbor andpractice patience. Safety is our number one concern.

Rain Dismissal – We continue to tweak our rain dismissal procedure. Our goal is to safely completedismissal in 30 minutes or less from when the dismissal bell rings. Be assured that your child will not besent to Aftercare as long as there are still cars in line to pick-up.

PLEASE REFER TO PREVIOUS WEEKS FOR INFORMATION ON OUR H1N1 PROTOCOL AND FLU.
