Message from our Principal

Hello Green Bear Families,

Next week is our last week before winter break and it will be busy! On both Tuesday and Wednesday, our elementary students will be walking over to the high school auditorium at 1 p.m. to see their classmates perform.

Tuesday, the Elementary Band and Brown Bag Chorus members will perform a dress rehearsal for their Winter Concert in front of their elementary peers. Wednesday, it is the 1st graders turn to practice the ABC's of Winter Show.

Good luck to all our students with upcoming performances!

Our Toy Drive to benefit children at the Ebeid Center and Toledo hospital ends on Dec 16. Please consider sending a new unwrapped toy to add to the toy drive this year.

We will be closing out this busy week with a school wide movie in the Gym from 8:30 - 10:30.

Enjoy reading our Bulletin and have a wonderful week!

Don't be Late! School Starts at 8:10

A reminder to parents: The entry doors on Indian Road close promptly at 8:10 a.m. All students arriving after 8:10 must enter the front office doors and will be marked tardy. Please help your child and our teachers start the day on a positive note by making sure your child is in the building before 8:10 a.m. every morning.

Please help us out at dismissal time by making the office aware of any alternative pick-up procedures for your child by 12 p.m. that day. We want to make sure your child is aware of any changes well in advance of class dismissal time.

🏠 Stay Home, Stay Healthy! 🍎

Keeping our school community safe and healthy is a team effort! The best way we can all protect each other from germs is by staying home when we're feeling sick.

If your child has any of the following symptoms, please keep them home from school:

Fever
Vomiting or Diarrhea
Persistent cough
Sore throat
Headache or body aches
Unexplained rash

Your child should be fever-free for at least 24 hours (without using fever-reducing medicine) before returning to school.

Thank you for helping us make our school a healthy place to learn and play!

Dropping off things for your child?

Please LABEL the item with your child's first and last name and their homeroom teacher. There are stickers and pens on the drop-off table.

RING THE BELLbefore you leave to tell the office that you dropped something off.
