COMMODORE
From the Principal:
After School computer lab has begun. Students in grades 3-5 must have a computer lab permission form on file before they can stay. I encourage all 3rd, 4th and 5th graders to have that form on file in case they need to complete an assignment after school in the computer lab. Students in grades K-2 can stay only if accompanied by an adult. After school computer lab is on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s until 4:45pm. If school is closed, the lab is closed.
Ice cream is only sold from 7:20-7:50am on Wednesday’s for grades K-2 and Thursday’s for grades 3-5. Students must purchase ice cream in the cafeteria only on those days and during designated times. Ice cream is usually passed out on Friday’s or at the teacher’s discretion. Cost for ice cream is $.75.
