Important Announcements for this week
Mrs. Arinder, our counselor, is in need of boys uniform pants and shorts ONLY. Sizes 4-8. These are used for students who have bathroom accidents, spill food at lunch, or get their clothes wet or muddy at school. Donations can be dropped off in the front office.
DOJO Incentive Day is Thursday Jan. 16. Students who earned 100% positive DOJO points may wear free dress on this day. Students with 90-99% positive DOJO points may wear a spirit shirt with uniform bottoms on this day. Check your child's folder or ROOMS to see if your child qualifies. Parents can always access DOJO with the DOJO app to see your student's behavior tracking. Reach out to your teacher if you have any questions or need help setting up your DOJO app.
American Heart Association Fundraiser
Our Physical Education Department is kicking off their American Heart Association Fundraiser this week. The P.E. department earns money for the amount of money donated to the Kids Heart Challenge. This money is used to replace equipment that is used by all of our Little Griffins. Here is the information you need to know:
Kids Heart Challenge is here! We need your help to accomplish our goal of having our school community and families to know Hands-Only CPR and the warning signs of a stroke.
We want all students to sign up online and complete Finn’s Mission. They’ll even earn a free wristband for signing up! Plus you can help our school earn an extra $500.00 for PE equipment!
Here’s how you can help:
Sign Up Here: http://www2.heart.org/goto/ndle
Complete Finn’s Mission: Watch a 2-minute video to know Hands-Only CPR, spot the warning signs of a stroke and more!
Share with friends and family through social media, text and/or email.
Yearbooks will be sold for $35 until Feb. 1
After Feb. 1, yearbooks will be sold for $40. Parents, you get to design your own ads to feature your Little Griffin in whatever way you would like! This is a great personal touch to highlight our students or any of our parents' businesses. #SmallTownVibes.
Flyers will be sent home in folders with more information. You can scan the QR code below or go to www.buytheyearbook.com and type in school number 1471727-2501.

Reminders...
ALL messaging will be done through ROOMS so it is very important to have this set up. Email tara.brawley@desotopsb.com if you need help
Class DOJO is an app to download to view your child's behavior at school. If you have questions about behavior, ask your teacher through ROOMS.
We only accept cash for any kind of money collection at school. Please send the exact amount. All money should be in an envelope or ziplock bag with your child's name, their teacher's name, and what the money is for.
If your child will be going home a different way, please send a dated note to your child's teacher and an email to Mrs. Miller or Mrs. Salter in the office by 12:00 pm. tracy.miller@desotopsb.com or dena.salter@desotopsb.com
Please label all backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, and jackets with your child's first and last name. This will help us return items when they are lost.
Check Lost and Found!
Parents, please come check our lost and found rack in the office if your child has lost any jackets, water bottles, hair bows, etc. The lost and found rack is in the front lobby. You may come check it any time from 7:10-4:00 pm.
If you need to get in touch with our administration team, please send them an email instead of a Rooms message or call the office at (318)925-2383. This will ensure a quick response.
