Dear Wines Families,

Run-a-Thon Collections: Extended Until Friday

Big thanks to everyone who has contributed/collected pledges for our Run-a-Thon. We are nearing our goal, but still have some work to do. We are collecting pledges through this week. Pledges can be brought via cash or check (made out to Wines PTO) or online at https://wines-elementary-school-pto.square.site/shop/run-a-thon/6. Thank you!

Halloween

We will be celebrating Halloween (rain or shine) tomorrow afternoon. Students can bring their friendly costumes to school in a bag to be put on in the afternoon. Please no fake blood or weapons. Our parade will begin at 2:30. Weather permitting, we will exit the building from the Kindergarten wing near the modular building. We will walk to Cooley and then head left on Saunders Crescent. We will then turn left onto Hillridge and enter the Forsythe property on the path from Hillridge. We will all go straight into the building front doors from there. There are lots of great places to view the parade along those streets or the path through Forsythe’s athletic fields. You can also join us for the walk. We will have a modified indoor parade if the weather is too wet.

Please Alert Office of Absences AND Late Arrivals

Just a reminder to please call the office if your child will be absent from school and also if they will be late to school. We account for each child every morning. Our office phone is (734) 994-1973. You can leave a message at any time at that number. Parents can also alert teachers if you wish, but the office must be notified. Thank you.

Cooley Parking Lot

Lately I’ve noticed many cars in the Cooley parking lot that do not have Kindergarten/Y5 children and siblings. As a reminder, that lot should be used only for these families. If your child is not in Kindergarten/Young 5 or a sibling, please use the main entrance. Thank you.
