Last Day of School

As summer rapidly approaches teachers and parents both do their share of planning for the end of the school year; teachers with their lesson and testing plans and parents with the care of their children.

 

The Olathe School District sets their annual calendar in advance and builds in up to four days to accommodate for inclement weather or emergencies.

 

To aid with summer planning, here is each age group’s last day of school for the 2016-17 school year:

• May 18 is the last day of school for high school seniors
• May 24 is the last day of school for early childhood and PM kindergarten
• May 25 is the last day of school for all grade levels and is also a half-day of school. Hours for May 25:
  • Kindergarten (all-day and AM)- Grade 5: 8:20-11:40 a.m.
  • Grades 6-8: 7:50 -11:15 a.m.
  • Grades 9-11: 8-11:15 a.m.

Safety - Our #1 Priority

Dear Parents,

With Just $2.00 from every Pleasant Ridge Family, you can help our school be SAFER!!!!!  

Can You Hear Me Now? is a Fund-A-Need Grant I wrote last year to increase the number of Walkie Talkies in our school.  You may or may not know that as a school we utilize our Walkie Talkies to ensure the safety of our students throughout the bldg - inside and outside.  

Currently, we have Walkie Talkies in the hands of teachers whose rooms are Tornado/Severe Weather locations.  However, there have been times when we have needed more/additional walkie talkies in the hands of ALL of our classrooms.  I wish we wouldn't have that need, but in our current world, we want to be prepared at Pleasant Ridge.  Here is the link to the Grant Request - https://www.olathepublicschoolsfoundation.org/fund-a-need/safe-schools-can-you-hear-me-now 

If we can raise half of the remaining amount, then we have a local business who will MATCH that amount, allowing us to FULLY FUND this grant.  

Can you donate even just $2.00?  Granted, we may or may not get every family to do $2.00, so hopefully some of our families would be willing to do $5, $10, or even $20. Bottom line.....What cost do you place on your child's safety? 

Thank You SO Much for supporting your child's safety!

Class Photo Day & Individual Photos - March 9

Dear Parents,

On Thursday, March 9, we will be taking 2 different photos. If you need a new form, they can be picked up in the office.

The first photo being taken will be a class group picture. These group pictures must be Pre-Ordered & Pre-Paid. On the order form, there is a detachable envelop at the bottom, that will be need to be completed and returned to school for LifeTouch to take on the day of pictures - Thursday, March 9.

 

The second photo will be the spring individual pictures. These pictures are not pre-paid for, but instead, you will receive a copy of the photo that is taken of your students at a later date, allowing you to then make the decision as to whether you want to purchase all of the photos, part of the photo package, or not purchase them at all (which you would then simply return the picture packet to school). Students can make a pose selection, as well as a background selection. On the same form that was sent home, the "green" side describes these choices, and you will make your selection then on the detachable form and return it.  Students can turn this form in to the teacher prior to picture day, or bring it with them the day of pictures.

 

Again, both the form and envelope should be returned to your child's classroom teacher at any time between now and Thursday, March 9. Plus you can visit www.lifetouch.com for clothing suggestions, grooming tips, online payment details and more. Please let me know if you have any questions.
