Spring Break Reading Challenge
As a reminder, we are having a Spring Break Reading Challenge. Students that complete platform minutes and/or reading log will enjoy a slushie when we return from break. Let's keep our kids motivated and learning over the next 2 weeks.
Attendance
We finished our week with 94% attendance and had SO much fun with Pajama Day, that we forgot to run the Weekly Attendance Challenge Winner. Please, always remember, attendance matters!
Parent Survey
Thank you parents for all your support on our Cognia survey, we finished with 32% . That exceeded our goal by 13%.
The Golden Rule: Treat Others as You Would Like to Be Treated
Please encourage your student(s) to make appropriate choices at school and on the bus by reviewing our school wide expectations together. By signing their student handbook at the beginning of the year, they agreed to follow these expectations. Please make clear to them that you always have the same expectations for them when they are attending school.
Playground Expectations
It is extremely important that every student at Kellar follows our school's playground expectations during school time to keep everyone safe. Please review and discuss these with your student(s).
Morning Drop Off & Afternoon Pick-up
1. It is very important that all families follow the established Drop Off & Pick-Up Procedures. Please do not park on the side of the road on Mt. Hawley when dropping off your student. There have been numerous concerns and is a safety issue.
2. Building Access Policy: Please drop your student off at the door and hallway supervisors can assist them to class if needed. Otherwise, parents will need to sign in at the office before entering the building.
3. Fire Lane /Bus Lane Parking: During AM/PM Arrival and Dismissal, please park either on the back blacktop or in a designated parking spot. The Fire Lane and the Bus Lane in front of the school must remain clear. This is to ensure safety for all of our students.
4. If you need to cross the street, please use the designated crosswalk and avoid parking on the sides of the street on Mt. Hawley.
5. After School Pick-Up: To keep dismissal orderly at the end of the day, when picking students up from the cafeteria, exit 2, by the garbage bin, and exit 3, around the back corner, are for exiting only. To enter the school building to pick your student(s) up from the cafeteria, please only come through exit 4 located on the right after you completely walk pass the newer playground equipment. Please share this with anyone who may be coming to pick your student(s) up after school.
6. If you are going to let your student(s) play on the playground after school or are staying after for some other reason, please move your car to an open spot outside of the fence immediately so the gate can be closed.
Thank you for all you do, no one plays a more important role in the educational success of a student than their family!
Don't forget to shine your Kellar pride!
