March 1st - 5th is Dr. Seuss Week and we have some Spirit Days planned (see the image of the flyer going home). This is also a week to encourage reading, so take time to read a book, even one you have read before, because good readers reread good books! We hope you all participate in the Spirit Days whether you are in-person or virtual!
We are asking for you to send pictures we can utilize for the 20-21 yearbook. See the link to the attached page for a list of pictures we are requesting.

The water main has been repaired and Meister will be back in session tomorrow for Late Start Wednesday.
Remember that on Wednesdays, the doors ope at 9:00am for drop offs at Door F in the back parking lot. This is 1 hour later than normal. Busses usually run about 40-45 min later on Wednesday mornings because of late start, but also remember that we only have 2 bus drivers for this week, so we are doubling in the mornings and afternoons as follows:
In the morning, Bus 11 will be picking up Bus 12 first then go back for the Bus 11 route, so Bus 11 kids may be picked up later than usual.
In the afternoon, Bus 11 will be picked up and delivered home on time and Bus 12 will run later coming home.
In the morning Bus 6 will be picking up Bus 6 first then go back for the Bus 14 route, so Bus 14 will be picked up later than usual.
In the afternoon, Bus 6 will be picked up and delivered home on time and Bus 14 will run later coming home.
See you tomorrow Vikings!
