Hello Floris Families,

What a great start to the school year! We have loved seeing our students come through the doors each morning ready to learn, connect, and grow. We are excited about the routines and relationships that are already beginning to take shape across our school!

As we head into the long weekend, we wanted to share a few reminders and updates:

No School Tomorrow or Monday
Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow, Friday, September 4, or Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day. We hope you enjoy the long weekend with your family and have an opportunity to relax and recharge!

Bus Badges Coming Next Week
We wanted to give our bus-riding families a heads-up that students will receive their bus badges next week. To help prevent badges from getting lost, we will secure each badge to the right side of the student's backpack with a zip tie.

Our goal is for all bus riders to have their badges attached and ready to use by Friday, September 11.

Family Lunch Begins the Week of September 14
We are also excited to begin welcoming parents and family members to have lunch with their children in the cafeteria starting the week of September 14.

We wanted to give our students these first few weeks to establish routines, learn our structures, and get into the rhythm of the school day. We are excited to open this opportunity to families and know how special it can be to share lunchtime with your child at school!

Thank you for helping us make the start of this school year such a positive one. We are off to a wonderful beginning!

Enjoy the nice, long weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone back at Floris on Tuesday!

Josh DeSmyter
Principal
Floris Elementary School
