Good Morning Parents,
As we continue to experience rainy weather, we kindly ask for your support in reminding you son/daughter to be extra careful around outdoor areas as they me be wet and slippery. Following staff directions during these conditions help us keep everyone safe and prevent any possible accidents. If your child needs to bring an umbrella for dismissal, we highly recommend choosing one that can fit inside their backpack. During breakfast and lunch time, students will be kept indoors. We advise you to call our office ahead of time if you plan to pick up your/son daughter. Please ensure any calls in dismissal changes are made by noon (12PM). Thank you for your help and understanding!
Debido a que continuamos experimentando lluvias, les pedimos amablemente que recuerden a sus hijos que tengan mas cuidado en las áreas exteriores, ya que pueden estar mojadas y resbaladizas. Seguir las indicaciones del personal en estas condiciones nos ayuda a mantener la seguridad de todos y a prevenir posibles accidentes. Si su hijo necesita traer un paraguas para la salida, les recomendamos elegir uno que quepa en su mochila. Durante el desayuno y el almuerzo, los alumnos permanecerán dentro del colegio. Les aconsejamos que llamen a nuestra oficina con anticipación si planean recoger a sus hijos. Por favor, asegúrense de que cualquier cambio en la hora de salida se realice antes del mediodía (12:00 p. m.). ¡Gracias por su ayuda y comprensión!
