Hello Borlaug Families,
The Borlaug Family Handbook is now on the front page of our Borlaug website. You will also find it under Parent Resources. It has a great deal of information that you will find helpful in preparing for the fast approaching school year.
The first school day bell rings at 8:25 with an 8:35 tardy bell. Students may start lining up at their designated playground areas as early as 8:10, which is when teacher supervision begins. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders will line up at the colored circles on the west playground and the kindergarteners, 5th and 6th graders will line up at the colored circles on the east playgrounds. Classroom teachers will be out the first day to let students know which color dot is theirs.
The Family Handbook outlines procedures for pick-up and drop-off as well as dismissal procedures. The east parking lot is for car parking and for the car line after school, while the west parking lot is our bus loop. Please remember patience as we work through perfecting such procedures. Safety is our number one goal for all of our students and their families.
The Family Handbook contains the school supply list, but if you need a hard copy you will find them in the local stores or you can stop by the Borlaug office. If you need a hard copy of the Family Handbook please let us know as well.
Our next PTO meeting is Tuesday, August 7th at 6:30 at Borlaug in our library on the second floor. We hope you can join us as we continue planning for the coming year.
We want to remind you of our Ice Cream Social on Tuesday, August 14th starting at 6:15 to 7:30. Class lists will be posted that evening. We will gather on the east playground to start the event with our playground dedication. Teachers will then enter the building first so they are in their classrooms ready to greet their students and families. While visiting your child’s classroom, you will receive a packet of information including envelops for paying the text book fee and the assignment notebook fee – which is only for our 3rd through 6th graders. It is sure to be a wonderful night for all!
Sincerely,
Celeste Shoppa, Principal
