A NOTE FROM PRINCIPAL MONICA DAUGHERTY:

We are in need of lunchtime supervision help! During the year, there are days we end up short handed for lunch duty. If you are interested in being paid for one hour of lunch supervision either supervising on the playground or in the lunchroom, please let us know. This would be a substitute position for the days when staff members call in sick. Please let the office know if you are interested.

There will be a presentation of options for common core math pathways for Seven Hills School at the next Board Meeting on November 25th and everyone is invited to attend. We wish you all a wonderful time with family and friends over Thanksgiving.

KINDERGARTEN DISMISSAL @ 1:15 (as usual)

1ST - 4TH GRADES DISMISSAL @ 1:30

BUS PASSES will soon be required for all students riding the bus. There is not a charge to ride the bus, but a bus application needs to be on file for every student who will ride the bus. If you haven't turned in the application, forms are available in the office. Please contact the office if you have any questions.

STUDENT PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF - For the safety of our students, please use the zone in front of school for drop-off and pick-up. During pick-up, drive to the front of school and wait in your vehicle and your child will be escorted to your car. Please display your child's nameplate in the window of your vehicle to help make the process safe and efficient. When walking, please remember to always use the crosswalks. New nameplates are available in the office. Thank you for your cooperation.

THANK YOU TO DR. CHRISTENSEN, Tracy Larson, and the parents that helped with the vision and hearing screening: Lotus Hallenbeck, Kim Kinnear, Julianne Lindars, Celise Rogers, and Jenny Woerner.

THANK YOU to everyone who donated canned or non-perishable food items to the KCRA KIDS CAN FOOD DRIVE. We collected 846 cans. All the food that was collected will be distributed to needy families in our community. We appreciate your giving spirit during this holiday season.

LOST AND FOUND - Please check for lost clothing on the rack in front of school, in the bin by the Fitness Room, and in the cafeteria for lost lunchboxes. All unclaimed items will be donated to local charities during the Thanksgiving break.
