CHRISTMAS IN CAMANCHE
Christmas in Camanche is hosting a holiday party for all ages on Saturday, December 15th. The event will be held at Imperial Lanes from 12:30 -2:30 p.m. and will include pizza, face painting, and writing letters to Santa.
PREPARING FOR WINTER
Reminder that our school policy states that ALL students go outside for recess unless they have a note from their family physician stating a need for them to remain indoors, or if the temperature (actual or wind chill) is less than TEN DEGREES.
With cold and snowy weather comes the possibility of late starts, early outs, and school cancellations. Please make sure that your phone numbers are up to date in your Family Portal to be sure that you receive the texted and recorded all-district messages sent from Mr. Shaffer when necessary.
COLD WEATHER GEAR
Students should come to school each day dressed for that day’s weather. Please take a moment to make sure that your child’s name is written on all of their outerwear. Students are required to have snow boots and snow pants in order to go off the blacktop area and play in the snow.
If you are unable to provide your child(ren) with the needed outerwear, please contact Janeen Reuter, the district Family Resource Coordinator at 563-259-3016. All information is kept strictly confidential.
