Hello Sidney Families,
We had a busy and fun week at Sidney Elementary!
We are so excited to have all of our new and returning students with us this year.
Our school population grew this summer so we were fortunate to add a new division to our school. We now have 18 divisions.
A reminder to all families that our morning supervision starts at 8:25. Please do not send your child to school before that time. Students line up at their exterior classroom door at the bell and they will be brought into the school by their teacher at 8:40.
After school supervision is from 2:48- 3:03. Students are dismissed from their exterior door, please wait for your children outside for pick up. All students who have not been picked up by 3:03 are asked to come to the office to wait for their pick up.
All visitors to our school are asked to enter by the front door only and sign in at the front office. All visitors to our school must wear a mask.
We will continue to have a waste free lunch at school. We ask that all students take home all of their garbage, compost and recycling in their lunch box. Our school encourages all students to drink water throughout the day. Please make sure that your child has a water bottle each day. We also ask that no juice boxes are brought to school.
