:etter from Mr. Oldroyd

Wednesday, July 16, 2014 Dear South Elementary Students and Parents, It is that time of year again that we start thinking of going back to school. This is such a beautiful and exciting time of year. I hope you have had a great summer. South Elementary is a great school by working together we will keep it that way. I wanted to remind you of a few things: Back To School Night- Tuesday, August 12-- Grades 1, 2, and 3 will meet with teachers in their classrooms at 6:00, PTA meeting in the gym at 6:30, and grades 4 and 5 with teachers in their classrooms at 7:00. *Please visit our school website. It is found at http://south.ironk12.org/. We put events on the calendar as soon as we find out about them. Each teacher also has a link to their class webpage that will be kept current with important information. *Attendance/Punctuality- School begins on Thursday, August 14th at 8:50 a.m. Please help us by getting your student to school on time every school day and keeping them in school until 3:30 every school day. We had between 10-15 students late every day last year. This makes extra work for Mrs. Smith. Please teach your child the important life skill of being on time. We have incredible teachers at South, but they can’t teach your children if they aren’t here. We understand when students are sick and we will have make up work for them. Please plan family vacations to coincide with school vacations. *Phones- We have always had 3 phone lines, 2 for telephone use and 1 fax line. We now have a total of 2 lines and one of them is shared with the fax machine. The number for the main line is 586-2850 and the shared line is 586-2851.We suggest calling earlier in the day if you need to get a message to your child. The phones will be busy closer to 3:30. *Bus Routes- Bus routes and stops are available at: http://irondistrict.org/bus-routes *Dress Standards- Please be aware of the Iron County School District Dress Standards, as we will be adhering to them closely again this year, starting the first day of school. The teachers and staff at South Elementary are caring, dedicated professionals. We have another incredible PTA board this year that are anxious to get started. We are excited to be part of the team with families and students to provide the best education possible for our students. Mr. Oldroyd Principal Cedar South Elementary
