IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR THE ELEMENTARY!

WELCOME!

Registration is tomorrow, Aug. 12th! Students come back on Aug. 24th!!

Welcome back to a brand new year! I hope everyone is as excited to start back as I am!!

This year we will have a few important changes to the Notus Elementary schedule.

• The start time for students has changed to 8:10 am, instead of 8:15 am. This is to help align the elementary and high school. The tardy bell will ring at 8:15.

• The lunch schedule and lunch procedure has changed this year.

The student lunch and lunch recess is scheduled for 45 minutes. Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades will go to lunch at 11:00 am; 3rd and 4th grades will go to lunch at 11:10 am; and 5th and 6th grades will go to lunch at 11:20 am. When students arrive for lunch, they will be required to stay in the lunch room and eat for at least 15 minutes, after 15 minutes students will be given the option to stay and continue eating or go out to recess.

11:00-11:45………….Lunch / recess (K-2)

11:10-11:55………….Lunch / recess (3-4)

11:20-12:05………….Lunch / recess (5-6)

• The start time for Afternoon Kindergarten is still being discussed and once registration is over and the Bus Supervisor has had a chance to look at the routes of both the morning students going home and the afternoon students coming to school a decision will be made.

• This year we have moved around a lot of teachers and will be welcoming couple of new ones.
  
• Because of large numbers in first grade we will be hiring another 1st grade teacher before the start of school. To be announced.
• We have a new PE teacher. Brad Huter.
