Grandparent's Day is Thursday, September 21st.  Information went home with the oldest child last week.  Mass will begin at 8:45am.  Grandparents should meet their grandchildren in the gym before going to church.

Friday, September 22nd is Franklin County's homecoming.  Students may dress out of uniform if they wear Franklin County or St. Michael spirit wear.  Students may not paint their faces or color their hair.  Please follow the out of uniform dress code in the student handbook. 

I have noticed students wearing socks that do not meet dress code requirements.  Please check the student handbook for appropriate sock colors.  I will begin sending notes home if students are wearing the wrong colored socks.

Attendance is very important for your child's success in school.  Please read through the attendance policy in the student handbook.  If your child is going to be late, have to leave early, or will be absent from school, a parent must call or email the teacher and Michelle in the office.  If you do not email or call, the tardy or absence is considered unexcused.  

We have students with allergies in our classroom.  Please do not send any snacks with your child that contain peanuts, tree nuts, any kind of nut butter, or peanut butter.
