DIRECTOR'S UPDATE
Enrollment for the 2017-18 School Year!
As a current family, you have priority for placement in the 2017 summer program and the 2017-18 school year. Application packets were placed in locker mail tubes last week. To take advantage of your status, please return your application with appropriate fees to the office this week or by 12pm on Saturday, January 14 at Open House. 
A few safety reminders as we get back into the school routine after winter break.
To help keep everyone safe and accounted for:
  • Never let your children open the doors when exiting the building or the gates when exiting the playground; 
  • Never let your children be in the building unaccompanied by an adult; 
  • Always check-in with a teacher when dropping off and picking up your child.  
To help with the 4K traffic:
  • When picking up your child at 11:30, use the Gilmore Street stairs to enter and exit the NM hallway.  
  • When picking up your child at 3:30, use the inner stairway by the gym to enter and exit the NM hallway.  
  • Be mindful of our bundled up little ones who need more space and time to go up and down the stairs.
Always send your child to school with full winter wear.  We go outside unless the windchill (feels like temp) is -5 or below. If school will be closed due to weather conditions, an email will be sent to all families. If MMSD or Wingra School closes, we will also close. School closing info can be found on TV station websites and apps like Channel3000.com. For questions about our weather policies and procedures, please contact April Denton.
