Westside Rotary Popcorn Fundraiser for Owen Marsh https://www.delspopcornshop.com/products/westside-rotary-club-of-springfield-popcorn-fundraiser

Reminder: Basketball Practice Tomorrow: Monday, Feb. 3 - 6:30 - 8:00PM

Parents: We continue our commitment to increase student attendance this year. Classroom learning starts at 9:00 a.m. A student who arrives between 8:56 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. is considered tardy. If your child is tardy coming to school, an adult is required to come to the office to sign him/her in for the day. Students arriving after 9:45 a.m. will be considered a half-day absent from school. Once the school day starts we ask that you drop off your students and they will be escorted to class by school employees for the safety of our building and to protect the learning in our classrooms. Similarly, students who are picked up from school prior to 2:45 p.m. will be marked a half-day absent from school. When students arrive late or are picked up early, it takes away from precious learning time in the classroom.

Basketball Schedule 2024 -2025 Season: Check the school webpage live feed, your email, or The Marsh Rooms page for the full schedule.

Important Calendar Updates Below: **We have moved Book Fair week and Math (STEAM) Night, to accommodate Middle School Preview Night** - See email or Message in Rooms for the full updated February Calendar.

Parents: Car Rider Dismissal -Pick up Safety If your student is a car rider or walker leaving the school at the end of the day, please be mindful of the big trucks going in and out of the back parking lot. I am going to tell students today to start using the sidewalk located on the right side (by the blacktop) for safety out back.

OME Basketball for the 2024 - 2025 season will begin in February. Here are the teams. Practice for both teams will be: Thursday - Jan. 23 - - 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. Thursday - Jan. 30 - 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. Monday - February 3 - 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. The game schedule will be coming out soon.
