End-of-the-Year Information
We ask that you please read THIS LETTER for important information as we end our school year.

4th Grade Play
Our 4th graders have been busy rehearsing for their musical taking place June 12.  The performance will be held across the street at the Manchester Christian Church at 6:30pm on Tuesday, June 12. 

Health Office Notice
I would like to remind parents to pick up all medications from the Health office before the end of the school year. Medications cannot be stored at school over the summer; any medications that are not picked up will be discarded.

As a reminder, updated physician’s orders and parent permission forms are required at the beginning of school year. Feel free to pick them up now for next school year (they can also be downloaded from the school website). Also, if your child will be moving on to McKelvie, a current physical and up-to-date immunization record are required upon entry.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call me at 627-1776 extension 23204 or you can email me at cooka@sau25.net.

I hope you have a wonderful summer!

Sincerely,

Anna Cook
