We are only three days deep into our sixth annual Laps for Learning event for UV PTO and we've already received $6,165 in donations!!!
We are off to a GREAT start, climbing toward our goal of $30,000!
We should have a zany stunt on the line by tomorrow! I know Mrs. Witthuhn and our 4th and 5th Graders have some crazy ideas cookin!!! I have a feeling that sleeping on the school's roof will have nothing on this year's challenge!!!
Keep turning in those purple tickets and raising pledges for Laps for Learning! As we will need 50 kids for our inflatable extra recess, 25 for our pizza/sundae buffet and 10 for the Dave & Buster's field trip with Mr. Mason!!!
Keep getting it!
Dr. Erickson
So proud of this second grade leader! He helped a kindergartner get back to her classroom after breakfast. I overheard him ask questions about what her teacher looks like to know exactly where to take her.
Lead on, lead up, my guy!! #UVlearn

Good morning!
In the Announcements vid in Seesaw, we discuss DISMISSAL as our procedure of the day.
DISMISSAL is similar to last year in that busses will dismiss from our north parking lot and parent pick-up will be from our south parking lot.
DISMISSAL will be different from last year in that it'll be 10 minutes earlier. We now dismiss at 3:05 PM.
For parent pick-up, please park INSIDE or SOUTH of the first light pole if you are parking and walking up to pick up your child/children.
If you are driving up to pick up in our lanes, please enter the lanes (I'll help you, I'm there daily) OUTSIDE or NORTH of the first light pole.
We have a LOT of kids (biggest elementary in Reno County) with a lot of students being picked up from our south parking lot. It's very important we follow these directions/procedures for dismissal to be efficient.
You all do a GREAT job following our staff out there. Let's keep it up in 2021-2022!
Please comment with any questions :-)
See you soon!
