Reteaching routines is always a good strategy upon returning from a school break. 4th graders are practicing their transition from recess to the cafe.

Attention Florence Roche Families, Today is a full day for students. Regular dismissal begins at 3:10. However, due to the anticipated stormy weather, we plan to begin loading and sending buses on the routes as soon as they arrive to us. This means your student may be arriving home 5-10 minutes early this afternoon. The bus driver will not release grades K and 1 students without an adult present. Please plan for your students to be arriving home a few minutes ahead of their normal time. Thank you and have happy holiday break!
