Scheduling a conference is optional (not required).

If you’d like to meet with your child’s teacher, keep an eye out for a conference request form that will be sent home in your child’s backpack.
 

Brrr… Fall is in the Air!

The days are getting chilly and the leaves are starting to fall. It must be that time of year again!

Please help your little one stay warm and comfy by sending them to school with a cozy coat, hat, and gloves. We love playing and learning outside, even when it’s cool out!

Don’t forget to write your child’s name on their items so they don’t get lost in the coat pile.

Thank you for helping our students stay snug and ready for fun!
 

Thank You for a Spooktacular Night! 🎃

Thank you to all our families who joined us for Trick-or-Treat Night! 

It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces and creative costumes. We loved celebrating with our Keewaydin families and appreciate everyone who helped make the evening so much fun!

PARKING REMINDER!!

Parking Reminder for Families

When dropping off or picking up your child, for everyone's safety, please remember to park in designated parking spaces only. Parking along curbs or in areas that are not marked as parking spaces is not permitted.

If all parking spaces are full, you may park at the baseball field across the street and use the crosswalk to safely cross the street. You may also wait until a parking space becomes available.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping keep our parking lot safe for all students and families!
 

ATTENTION BUS RIDERS!

If your child is a bus rider, they will be sent home on the bus unless you let us know otherwise.

If you do not want your child to ride the bus on a particular day because you are picking them up, please call the school AND message your child’s teacher at least ONE HOUR BEFORE school ends. 

If we do not receive enough notice, we cannot guarantee that your child will not be sent home on the bus.

Thank you for keeping us informed!
