Today's reminder comes from Mrs. Andes' Class. Our final dress up day is Holiday/Ugly Sweaters. Break out that one sweater you can't wait to wear each year. Tomorrow is also a minimal day. All students are out at 11:30am tomorrow. Breakfast and a snack lunch will be served.
Mrs. Andes' class participated in a service project for the Tiny Tim Foundation today. We appreciate the opportunity to give back.

Tomorrow is Crazy Sock day! This Christmas Reminder comes from 1st Grade today. 1st Graders went on a magical journey via their Polar Express trains today. They even got a gift delivered straight from the north pole.
Parents, please be aware as you are coming for Christmas events and parties: every parent passing beyond the office must have a background check and get a badge/sticker. We will be checking these for every parent coming for parties. Also, any food item brought to the school must be store bought and packaged. Nothing baked or assembled at home is allowed at schools. Both of these rules are Utah State laws, we are required to enforce them for the safety of all of our students. Please call the office if you want to confirm your background check in advance.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. We are looking forward to the last two days of fun at school.

The first snow of the season is always the best! Kids have enjoyed playing in it as much as they can today. Mr. Killpack even got a little bit of snow time this morning.

Our food drive wraps up tomorrow and our bins are fairly empty. Please consider sending in something with your student tomorrow if you can. We'd sure love to send Tabitha's Way full bins for those in need.

Did you know...every week we have Late Bus Wednesdays . Due to the secondary (middle, jr, and high) school adjusted Wednesday schedule, it delays our buses. The NASA bus is usually fairly on time, but the Gryffindor and Lumiere buses are between 7-15 minutes late on an average Wednesday. They could be even later on snowy or icy Wednesdays. Please plan for these adjusted times for your bus students' arrival time home on Wednesdays.
Want to know where your students bus is in real time - consider downloading the stop finder app. This app allows you to see updates on your student's bus and see which stop they are at. This could become very helpful as we approach the days of more inclement weather. If you can't find your family's email invitation for access, you can call the transportation office or call us at the school and we can help.
