School News and Information

Happy Friday, we had another great week at school!  Our staff has been busy with two productive Professional Development days focusing on the new ELA adoption for the upcoming school year.

Thank you to the Bogan PTG Executive Board for all the fantastic treats provided to staff this week for Teacher Appreciation week!  So thoughtful

Drop off and Pick up Procedures:

As a reminder, student drop off happens at the rear of the building beginning at 8:05.  Please release your K-5 student as early as possible along the straight away/sidewalk.  Only preschool students need to be released in the first spot near the preschool staff.  No students should be released in the front of the building or  walked between buses during arrival.  If students arrive late-after 8:25, please park and bring students in to the main office to sign in. 

 

As the weather continues to improve, more classes will be taking their afternoon snack/recess outside.  We will not be able to open the gates for parent pick up until 2:55.  Please plan accordingly to avoid lining up onto 177.  Please pull as close as possible to the car in front of you in order to make room.

Updated COVID Information- Mrs. Fangman- District Nurse

The CDC recently changed its guidance regarding Covid information and protocols. The district is taking this opportunity to share with you the updated COVID information and policy. We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our students, teachers, and staff. We must work together to minimize the spread of illness within our school community.

 

Please follow your healthcare provider's advice regarding when to stay home with illness, and when your student may return to school following a COVID diagnosis. 

 

Your child’s symptoms must improve and the child must be fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medications. This helps prevent the spread of illness/Covid.

 

We collaborate closely with local health authorities to stay updated on COVID activity in our area and follow any additional recommendations or guidelines they provide.

 

The district appreciates your cooperation and support in helping us maintain a healthy learning environment for all students. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.



Final Forms Update and Reminder 

TSD will prompt parents in the first week of August to begin updating their child's school forms for the 2024-25 school year.  We know sometimes parents begin doing this early, but it's important to wait for the prompt from the district, as some forms will be changing for next school year.  The updates will be made in July after all of the summer programs are completed.
