Parent Update from McBain Elementary



Just a few quick notes from McBain Elementary:

ABSENCES:  Many of you are already aware that there are various viruses affecting students in our area (strep, hand-foot-mouth, impetigo) .  If your child has a fever, PLEASE do not send them to school.  Children MUST be fever-free without medication for 24 hours before returning to school.  Please call the school to excuse your child EACH day they are absent.

DELAYED START: This Monday, October 20th, is our Delayed Start Monday.  Class begins at 10am, so students should arrive before 9:55am, but students should not be dropped off before 9:45am because there is no supervision for them before 9:45am

NORMAL SCHOOL DAY/BREAKFAST:  On our normal school days, class begins at 8:05am, but breakfast in the classroom begins at 7:55am.  If students arrive after 8:10am, they will not receive breakfast.

PICTURE RETAKESWednesday, October 22nd - if you need to have your child's picture retaken, send your current package to school with your child on that day.

LABELS: Keep sending those labels!  Box Tops, Campbell's, Tyson, Spartan UPC's and School Spirit labels from Soft-'N-Good Bread are what is collected.  For every 20 sent in, your child gets his/her name in a drawing for prizes! And be sure to turn in the print-outs that come from Meijer, with extra bonus points.

SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS FROM HOLTON'S LP! - If you purchase propane through Holton's, please turn your receipt in to the school office because the PTO is now participating in their "School Days" Program. The PTO can earn 2 cents for every gallon shown on those receipts!  Let other family members know too.

MOBILE DENTIST - scheduled for December 5th.

CRAFT SHOW - The PTO's annual Holiday Craft Market is Saturday, November 29th from 9am-3pm.  It is EXPANDED to THREE GYMS this year, and SANTA will also be making an appearance for photo opportunities!  More details coming soon.
