Happy Friday Georgetown Parents!
Well here it is 13 days and counting after today! Woo-Hoo!! : )
NEWS FROM THE OFFICE
Just a couple of quick things from the office staff…… PLEASE make sure to send notes to school with your student/students if they will be riding bikes, walking, or be picked up from school at the end of the day. It gets really busy in the office and the teachers are busy, so therefor it is alot to keep track of with all the changes throughout the day!
FIELD TRIPS and upcoming activites…….. please make sure to read notes that come home AND check your child’s teacher’s BLOG for important information in regards to their upcoming field trips and special activities. There are alot of things to remember this time of year and we are seeing alot of students coming unprepared for their special day! We especially need parents to make sure they have packed lunches for students if this is required for their trip as many times the buses leave for the field trip before parents can get to school with a lunch.

GEORGETOWN CARNIVAL ……. Wow….. KUDOS to Georgetown Students!!!
