Here is a little information as we head into a new week:
-Car Rider Line is from 7:15-7:45 in the mornings. The last car unloads at 7:48. If you arrive after this time, you will need to sign your child in at the front office. This is because students are supposed to be in class ready to learn at 7:50. Please note that many morning work assignments start at 7:35, so we recommend your child arrive at 7:30.
-September is Attendance Awareness Month- remember your child's presence matters. If they are not at school they are missing out on necessary learning experiences. Please make every effort to make sure your child is at school and on time each day.
-Kona Ice is this Tuesday. If you did not prepay for Kona Ice, that is ok! Just send $4 in their Money Pouch that is in their binder. They will be able to turn it in to their teacher on Tuesday morning.
-Calera Homecoming is the week of 9/21/26-9/25/26. The dress up days are as follows: Monday- Tourist / Traveler, Tuesday- Camping, Wednesday- Space, Thursday- Color Day: 3rd- Pink, 4th- Blue, 5th- Green, Friday- Calera Gear (See attached flyer for more details)

We are in our classrooms and off to an AMAZING school year. This morning during arrival the fire alarm did go off. We evacuated the building using our safety procedures and waited for the fire department to clear the building. We are now back on schedule and practicing our routines and procedures to set the tone for a great year. Students, teachers, staff, and parents did a great job making sure all students were safe. Thank you for your patience this morning as we ensured all students and staff were safe and ready to start the year!
We are so excited about the new school year! Please take a moment to read the attached reminders as we get ready to Take Off into a new school year. Some key reminders include: drop off starts at 7:15, tardy bell rings at 7:50, bring a snack, review the car rider map, and most importantly look forward to an AMAZING YEAR! #Onward&Upward
