Griffis: Lunch on the Lawn is ON for tomorrow! The weather forecast does not show rain for tomorrow. The ground will be wet. You may eat on the concrete areas or you may sign your student out for the day. Please message your students homeroom teacher to sign them out early.
Here are a few reminders for dismissal with heavy rain, thunderstorms or severe weather: If your child is normally a walker, parents have two options:
1. Normal routine of meeting your child at the playground fence. We will be walking out the front entrance due to the amount of rain we have received.
2. Join the appropriate car line to pick your child up in a vehicle. We will not dismiss bike riders or walkers without a guardian present for all grade levels.
Please call the front office to make a transportation change for your bike rider or walker due to the weather. Car rider signs help with the dismissal process. If you do not have one, you can create your own:)
Thank you for your help ensuring that dismissal runs smoothly even in inclement weather.
Today in 3rd Grade we wrapped up our week of learning about Tornadoes🌪️ Students read I Survived the Joplin Tornado, 2011! In math we learned about the tornado rating scale and we finished off with making a tornado in a jar!!
