Weekly Update 11/10

 

Dear Wines Families, 

We have a number of important notes today:

Early Pick-Ups

With the exciting news of vaccine availability for our students, we have had a large number of students being picked up during the school day for vaccination appointments this week. We most certainly encourage our kids to get the vaccine and we understand there are often other reasons for kids to leave school early as well. With that said, please remember that this is a large school and Robin is generally in the office alone so we need your help. Please inform us as soon as possible that you need to pick your child up early. While informing the teacher is a nice courtesy, due to the nature of their jobs, teachers do not regularly check email during the school day. Therefore, early pick up information must come to the office. You can call the office at (734) 994-1973 or email Robin Moore at moorero@aaps.k12.mi.us. We check voicemail throughout the day so feel free to leave a message if there is not an answer. The earlier we have the information, the easier it is to have your child ready for you. When you arrive to school, please ring the buzzer outside and we will bring your child to you. 

As I indicated earlier in the year, the end of the day is exceedingly busy. As a result, we simply cannot pull students from class after 3:15. Please make arrangements to have your child picked up before 3:15. 

We greatly appreciate your help as we partner with you to help get kids vaccinated and support you for other times when you need to pick your children up before the end of the day. We anticipate that over the next month or more as kids receive their first and then second vaccines that we will continue to have a high number of early pick-ups so your help is greatly appreciated. 

Missing Enrollment Documents

Due to the extended school closure last year and the restrictions for access to school this year, we have a number of student files that are missing pieces of enrollment paperwork. Beginning tomorrow, if your child has documents missing, you will receive an email that lists what documents we need. Next Tuesday, 11/16, from 4:00-6:00 we will be hosting a drive-up document drop off. We will meet you at your car and make any necessary copies of the missing documents. 

Notes from the Library

Wines students are voracious readers - hooray! That being said, many students have shared that they have overdue library books at home. Please help your student find their library books and return them to school. Books can be returned to the return bin at the entrance to the library at any time, even if it is not their library class day. Overdue notices will be sent home next week. Please email Rachel Goldberg (goldbergr@aaps.k12.mi.us) with any questions. 

Early Release Nov. 17

Our next Early Release Day is next Wednesday, Nov. 17. Dismissal is a 1:18 PM.
