AVOCA WEST BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT/ORIENTATION
Just a quick reminder that the Avoca West Back to School Night/Orientation will take place this Thursday, September 3, according to the following schedule:
K-1: 6:00-6:45 p.m.
2-3: 7:00-7:45 p.m.
4-5: 8:00-8:45 p.m.

This is an evening for the parents only. I strongly encourage you to arrange for babysitting, so you do not need to bring your child(ren).

If you must bring your child(ren), please download the forms below from Lutheran General Children’s Day Care-Kids Hope United, and plan to drop your children off in the Avoca West multi-purpose room upon your arrival. The cost for child care is $6 per hour per child.

Children should not be brought to the school and left unattended in the hallways or elsewhere during the presentations. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

SCHOOL HOURS
If you are dropping off your 1st-5th grade student(s), please drop him/her/them off between 8:00 and 8:15 a.m.

There is no supervision for children before 8:00 a.m. If you must drop your child off at school before 8:00 a.m., I strongly encourage you to take advantage of Lutheran General Children’s Day Care-Kids Hope United. They can be reached through the school office at (847) 724-6800.

Please note that the back door is supervised and open for student drop off between 8:00 and 8:25 a.m. At 8:25 a.m. the back door will be locked, so the supervisors can get to their next assignments. If you are dropping off your child after 8:25 a.m., you must use the main entrance.

The first bell for 1st-5th grade students rings at 8:15 a.m. Students are expected to be in class and ready to learn by 8:20 a.m.

1st-5th grade classes dismiss at 3:00 p.m. Students who do not take the bus must be picked up by 3:15 p.m. If you cannot get to Avoca West consistently to pick up your child by 3:15, again I strongly encourage you to take advantage of Lutheran General Children’s Day Care-Kids Hope United.

Kindergarten students may be dropped off in the morning according to the same procedures listed above, and they will be supervised until 8:50 a.m. when they will go to class.

The kindergarten parents who drive their children to school should drop them off along the north side of the building at 8:50 a.m. Kindergarten students are expected to be in class and ready to learn by 9:00 a.m.

Kindergarten dismissal occurs at 2:00 p.m. Again, parents who pick up their children at school may take advantage of parking along the north driveway; however, cars must be moved from the driveway by 2:30 p.m. at the latest to allow for a smooth traffic flow for the 3:00 p.m. dismissal.

Thank you!
