Elementary parents please do the following: clean out backpacks, look for notes, make sure all enrollment papers have been returned, and that all supply fees have been paid. Also, remember that your child must have a note if they are changing their pickup process for the day. If there is no note, your child will be sent home the usual way. Phone calls to the office for changing your child's pickup process should only occur in the event of an emergency. Notes in student folders are the method to be used. Remind your child to give notes to his/her teacher. The cut off time for phone calls is 1:30 p.m.

A message from the Superintendent: Please follow the protocol for sickness found at https://5il.co/22zl9. Unless authorized to self-administer, students are not allowed to carry any medications, including over-the-counter medications or any perceived health remedy not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration, while at school. The parent or legal guardian shall bring the student’s medication to the school nurse. Please do not send any medications in backpacks.

Elementary... Tomorrow is Blue & White spirit day at Parkers Chapel Elementary! We will wear our Blue & White spirit colors every Friday. We will only have dress up days for football during homecoming week. Students can also wear a hat on Fridays if they bring $1 and turn it in to their teacher. It will go toward the elementary as a fund raiser. See you tomorrow!

Elementary: PC Prek-4th Grade: AM Car Line: This is a reminder that all elementary students (not riding the bus) are to be dropped off in the front or the back car line. Parents should not be entering the building. If you need to communicate with your child's teacher, please email them or send a note requesting a phone conversation or an email conversation. Students arriving between 7:15-7:30 will enter the cafeteria and will be dismissed to go to their rooms or hallways at 7:30. After 7:30, students will go directly to their classrooms to begin preparing for their day. Parents must not enter the building without checking in at the elementary office. PC Prek parents will need to park in the high school parking lot and walk students to the auditorium lobby. If PC prek parents arrive after 7:50, they may park in front of the auditorium to drop off their prek student. Coop Prek parents are the only adults allowed to enter the kindergarten playground doorway. This is where they sign their students in for the day. Thank you for your help with this established safety procedure.

The nurse will be on campus from 4:30-6:30 if parents need to drop off epi pens or medications tonight during Open House.
