Thanksgiving

Dear Parents,

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and be thankful for what you have. One of the things that I am most thankful for is my job. I get to go to work every day and work with students that make me laugh and smile. I get to watch learning happen and be a part of new understanding. I love my job and I love working with your children. I am truly thankful to be teaching in Sparta. Enjoy your time with family and friends this Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,

Mr. Tidey

Camp Drop Off and Pick Up Times

DROP OFF AND PICK UP ON CAMP DAYS

• Students will NOT be allowed to bring camp luggage and bedding on their bus to and from school.
• Please make arrangements to have your student picked up and dropped off to school.
• Drop off times for 6th grade campers will be between 8:30 and 8:45am in the parking lot north of the middle school/east of the administration building. They do not need to report to school until this time on the day they leave for camp. If students need to be dropped off sooner, have them carry their luggage to their advisory room. Students report to their 1st hour teacher after dropping off luggage.
• Please pick up your 6th grader by 1:00pm in this same parking lot. You are free at this time to take them home.
• When dropping your child off, please give Mrs. Spencer, any medication that you are sending with your child on camp day. Please keep it in the original container to better facilitate its proper distribution.
