Dear Allen Families,
This will be a busy week before we embark on spring break after the school day this Friday.
Wednesday is our March is Reading Month Vocabulary parade at 2:30 PM. Parents are invited to come observe this fun event. Parents are welcome to check in at the office and head to the Great Room to observe this fun event!
Whether you are staying near or traveling over the coming spring break, we wish you a peaceful and restful week away from school.
This communication will cover the following topics:
Lost and Found
Our winter Lost and Found has been spread out across several tables outside the Great Room. It includes many gloves, boots, coats, snow pants, sweatshirts, lunch containers and other miscellaneous items. We’ll have the students walk by it again early this week and then it will be collected and repurposed on Thursday, March 21st.
Morning Drop Off
This is a friendly reminder that student drop-off does not begin until 8:40 AM. Our teaching staff are not able to provide supervision before this time. We ask that you stay with your child(ren) if they must arrive and exit your vehicle before this time. Staff have been needing to attend to many different situations that have arisen before this time with students that are not with their parent or another adult. Thank you for adjusting your plans accordingly to not drop your children off before 8:40 AM.

Make sure to look for our collaborative art installation of painted yardsticks in front of the Pretzel Bell, Shinola, and Cherry Republic.
