Dear Whirlwind Families-
It is September already! We are all getting used to new schedules and routines. I hope your family has found a routine that helps you begin and end your day on a happy note!
We have some special events coming up this month. You will want to read the important dates carefully. We are hopeful the new playground will be ready to go very soon! Thank you to the PTO, School Board and Dr.Wityk for working together to complete this project. The PTO will continue to raise funds to go towards the next phases of the playground project.
We have a few reminders to help the school year go smoothly.
Absences should be called in to the office. Doctor's notes can be emailed to ccantrell@archie.k12.mo.us or brought in the following day. It is always helpful to send the teacher a message on Rooms too.
All dismissal changes need to be called into the office by noon. We understand that there are sometimes circumstances beyond your control. In those cases just let us know as soon as possible. Please limit daily changes to your child's dismissal plan. This will help avoid confusion and errors.
The district approved methods of communication are Rooms, email and phone. Teachers are sometimes available to check messages at plan time or recess depending on their schedules. They will also check messages before and after school. They are not able to respond during instructional times. We appreciate your understanding. Don't hesitate to contact the office if there is an immediate concern.
Infinite Campus can be checked via the Parent Portal. Please be sure to set up an account.
The district has moved to gmail this year. If you do not get a response from a staff member within 48 hours, please call. Filters sometimes send messages to junk mail. We will always do our best to respond within 24 hours.
Contact me if there is something you think would be beneficial to include in the monthly newsletters. Our goal is to communicate often and thoroughly with our families.
Your Principal,
Mrs.Tamara Stroud
