Does start at 8 sharp so they would be tardy if they're arriving after 8:01 school ends at 3:20 pill 5 that's when this missile begins and ends at 3:25 if you are late we will be you will be charged 5 minutes for pickups after 3:30 if you are a parent who does need extended care and we also have after already sent that sign up with all we've already have parents who have signed up who have used that facility in the past so in Shala we do have Aftercare available again if you need it to go ahead and sign up and if you need a jump just for a day or just for a week because somebody's traveling and you have issues with picking up at our normal dismissal time we also have date day passes available in sha Allah so just reminding about a few other things first snack and lunch it's very important for the little ones to be fed with a nutritious snack and lunch we can't emphasize we can't emphasize enough how important it is that we are Trisha's snacks and lunches for students it is their responsibility for our families to provide the snack and lunch we do not provide any refrigerating or heating services at work meal we do have lunch which is serviced by Alameda or Cafeteria on the campus if you would like to purchase a lunch for your child you would buy a lunch card on our school website however snack is not available this include Monday through Friday you would have you would like you to send a snack and Charla we did send a detailed email about yesterday about lunch so if you didn't get a chance please go ahead and you know just filter through your emails quick a note I promised our admin assistant that I would remind to everybody that if your email and is out Yahoo or Hotmail email sometimes the emails that come from our school go to your spam folder so if you're not getting emails please check your spam folder first and if you still notice that it not there then go ahead and call the front office and we'll go ahead and try to take care of that situation and Shala but as of now everybody should be receiving two emails if you received this text and not an email then definitely going to check that folder because that means you're a narcissist second thing to talk about which food we also have bake sale which will not start the first Friday but will start the second Friday on May the kitchen is closed for us on Fridays because they are servicing the community after the gym ocelot so we will send a separate form for bake sale the lunch cards that you purchased for Monday through Thursday are not applicable for the Friday big sale we will email our bake sale forms out quarterly please make sure you stick to the deadline because we have a lot something to do on our end so we need sufficient time to make sure that we get the forms on time and then finally when it comes to allergies and Medicine we remind parents to notify the school of any allergies medicine fluid or anything else and we will work with the parents to make sure we have the appropriate plan for your child if your child suffers from allergies are migraines and you are comfortable with us administering medication to them it must be done with the proper documentation and in order to do that you would just go ahead and contact Mr met in the front office and she'll go ahead and guide you through that process we do not allow that we you know that you send medicine medicine cuz somebody you know how bad allergies one day and the teacher and ask the teacher to go ahead and give it to them for that day we will not be able to do that so please make sure that you are correct Savannah you know if your child needs medication throughout the school year to go ahead and take care of that early inshallah uniforms hopefully everybody has gotten the uniform because you didn't RX did to be on Soul uniform on the first day of school students waiting on any arrival of our uniforms you ordered maybe they haven't gotten to yet or are expected to email their teacher that they've already taken care of their order please make sure that the polo shirts and jumpers all have our elements logo in the white thread we have several providers now who do provide the embroidery so please again go to our website all that information is there so the since already in their uniform and once again uniform is something that is important to us because we want to make sure that our students are neat and clean and it just and it is a part of our school policy and we I hope that we will try to make it as easy as possible for everybody make sure it again that if you know our kids little ones grow so much by the end of the year they'll be you know definitely a couple of and don't be going throughout the years to just make sure that the uniforms you know that they're still at a modest length for the shirts and that you know they're still in good condition in sha Allah we have dress down days and those are already are settled in into our calendar there on the last Tuesday of the month for the boys even though our students are young we still ask them to wear pants the girls can wear dresses but we ask no Sleepless shirts for boys and girls the kids really enjoy the dress down days and we love seeing their character come out and buy the clothes they got to choose so but just remember we have a couple of guidelines for that as well inshallah throughout the school year are students take map testing which is a diagnostic test that shows our students growth from the beginning middle and end of year we will start in August beginning of year testing and then in the middle the year which is on the calendar the dates are there and then end-of-year students have to be there for testing if there is some extenuating circumstances and students will be missing testing then you should be emailing me principal at Alamance Crossing. Org and I'll go ahead and you know understand what's going on and if it's something that until we can accommodate we will work with you and you can find her testing dates on her school calendar so I've talked a lot about the things what we do what we don't want to do and all that stuff but there's also a lot of positivity being part of our team and school for our new parents coming into the elementary school family you'll definitely find that we are a very When We are family that everybody knows one another from the staff members the kids and we really try to cultivate that sense in our students we start that off with morning assembly we have our students of course begin their day with the restoration of remembering Allah in the morning and also with their morning at the car there's usually some type of fun activity Wednesdays and motivational Mondays and all those things I got our kids excited and we really encourage everybody to have the kids there at 7:45 so they can take part we have our character education program where we work on monthly trip monthly charger trades and then we do a school-wide we where we where we recognize those students that have mastered those character traits and a little ones it's definitely exciting time they let it's a great time cuz it's one of the few times we can be all in the same place kindergarten preschool through eighth grade and the gym and we wreck the accomplishments of good character which is important to us and fostering positive relationships event one another we're really working on our school goal which is to continue fostering relationships with our kids teaching them how how do we work with one another because we know that's a skill that is a lifelong for them in sha Allah volunteer hours as a family of a demon school it is a requirement to do 20 hours of volunteer a year in sha Allah and that's can be split between you know if it if it came between the two parents but or whoever they able to 4 hours we ask for you to help her bake sale on Friday and their meaning hours can be dedicated to any school activity it's a really good time to look at the calendar and see know where I might where you might be able to help out and Charla parents who don't complete the hours will be charged $200 at the end of the year on my goal is that we don't charge of anybody because really we would love our parents to come in Joanna and help out as much as possible we have lots of opportunities with field trips ptso of n bake sales every Friday there's a lot lot of ways to get involved in the school and that is you know the basic basis of any good any good what is the relationship between students parents and the staff members that's the trifecta that we need to have a successful experience for our students so my goal is Buddy will get those to happen to those many hours now I'm going to go over some new policies the first one is our tardy policy and before we get into you know what happens if you're late I just wanted to just step back a little bit and run by and talk little bit about why it's so important to come to school on time. A lot of times our car classes start at 8 sharp sometimes the class might be from 8 to 8:30 and then at 8:30 we're moving on to another class it might be 8:10 to 8:50 and then you're moving on so in the morning if you know you're late 15-20 minutes your child is really missing valuable curriculum time so that is one of the biggest reasons why it's important to be on time a second reason is Muslims are always trying to level ourselves to a level of excellence in everything we do and being on time as just another responsibility we have we make sure we pay our Salon time because and that's part of our day part of a so also being on time to school make it and work and your family to make sure it's part of your routine I know I have had I had three children Michelle and they're all older now but when they were little it was hard getting everybody out of bed and getting them ready but as a family might encourage you to set up a routine so in fellow that if it's easy for you through the school year the tardy policy will have that we have included this year is that if they are five or more tardies in a grading. We will have the homeroom teacher schedule a conference to see how they can support to make sure you're coming on time with your kids if there are more than 10 with integrating. Of Border then we will Crystal interventionist sister Annam Austin work a little bit more to see if you are what they what what needs to be done to help help support you be coming coming on time and also written warning would be provided to see about some goal setting and if it's 15 or more in a grading. Then we are going to have to have a conversation to see how can we continue with enrollment again going back to the why is really to make sure that your kids are there we just need your kids after that we're good we'll take care of the rest in Charlotte but we need them there on time to make sure that there are having the best experience possible message on the chat Pacific tardy policy begins to apply in kindergarten not not in pre-k the pre-k program there is no tardy however I do know the program does begin at 8 so we do encourage our parents to drop their children off by 8 but if they get there later that is another reason why we're one thing I can do the parents I can drop off your kid and you're rushing and your kid out of your kid is rushing and you just need to imagine the way they're coming into class in the lesson has already started and they it really had time to just mentally and physically settle and they just have to kind of hit the ground running and and that and that consistently can be pretty detrimental for them to play this constant ketchup and so and so would really does I think set the precedent for the rest of their day and and and and also it's not setting them up for the success that we would like to like to set them up for so this is why we're taking this very seriously this year to really just set it's up for that and you know it's your sister Rana we do you know at the end of the year kind of take some time to reflect with ourselves that our teachers and this is something a lot of the staff members you know that also reiterated that you know we just need to get there or just need them on time and then we'll take care of the rest but it really does impact their day so please be mindful of this updated policy inshallah dismissal so we ask that if you are able to make your appointments for your children after school hours on teacher workdays on vacation days but we do understand that there are times where is brightness can't be respect schedule so if your child if you child has appointment please notify your teacher the morning of the appointments of the teacher can you know be aware that your child is going to need to be ready at a certain time to be dismissed early but please know that an early dismissal that is really for appointments only not for convenience so much although we are we are at a place where we have our gym with the three ships and a lot of our parents attend it's a lot and sometimes they ask and we just go ahead and pick her kids after the Salah but your kids are still learning it's still a full school day so we are asking that parents do not come early after Friday prayers to pick up their kid because there is still krikilan being taught it's not a free day Friday is it is still a full day of school so we're asking the parents do not pick up their child early just out of convenience if there is an appointment then you should have notified the teacher earlier in the day second we are the Lantus lamech school so far Salat time we do close our front office or about 20 minutes before about really 15-20 minutes because it's important that we we show our students that ever it goes down to the Masala and praise him. This is something where we all stop and take a minute and our day to remember all the stuff on the thought of it and to be part of this a lot being said if you have your child has an appointment at 2 and if you come at one you're probably not going to be late for your appointment so we ask that you come upstairs and come to pick up your child 20 minutes before Salat time so around you know when is a good time and then we will be more than happy to have you have your child ready and out the door with you and Shala but please know that if it's during Salah time that it will you will have to wait until July and if that's the time you choose to come just a reminder that when you feel all those beginning of your forms which will send you digitally I'm the love we have that in school Pro that your child should have be dismissed only by somebody who is authorized if you are running late and you need it and you have to tell your friend and to pick up your child please make sure you call sister may she's there till 3:30 she will text me or sister Anna immediately that so and so is mother is or father or whoever is picking them up is running late so please dismiss them with somebody else because it is it is important to us that we make sure that we give the child to the correct person who is authorized also we know we have the playground which we all have to play after school but we can't send any chill go to the playground without being first authorized to be with an adult responsible adult with them and finally there will be no dismissal after 2:30 because that's when Barb will we have our families lining up that is when it's very hard to get out if you're trying to get your kids after 2:30 15 minutes early you're going to get stuck anyway so if you need to pick them up early for an appointment then make sure you come before Salat time or you know by 2 and it will again accommodate you as best as possible but afterwards we ask that you are going to go please wait in the carpool line in shower you're just a quick rundown of when our students make choices that we have to redirect them for we do have a policy in place for our students we have different levels level one is something happening in the class and the teacher goes ahead and sends an incident report and let the parents know that that there might be something that needs to be worked on and they went and at this point Behavior action plan to find some goals to help support our student if certain behaviors continue then we move on to level two which include aggressive behavior towards other and some type of defiance and we might ask you to have your child come pick up your child to go home for that day to reflect a little bit on the behavior and support them and make it better choices we will all set this plan also work closely with our interventionists to see how we can support more and if certain patterns continue when we've tried everything we might ask you to look for more support outside of what we are able to give to make sure that we have tried everything to help correct behaviors that might not be conducive in the classroom in the window for our third graders I know this bar fourth graders are not here but for our third graders are level one is very similar however our level 2 has changed a little bit that if there are some conduct that is really something that warrants more than just being sent home for a day there could be a possible suspension bumps and level 3 MI also be a longer suspension that might be up to four days and also probation for the upcoming school year these are worst-case scenarios we hope that we nip things in earlier but we also want to be very clear on it vacations for behavior that we have for our students again we're always trying to write have her students rise to our expectations and be their very best sells and we can't do that without without your support as well so of course our families will always be my boo answer these calls to these if any levels you know we need to bring those kids in again this is for our little bit older student just some tips for the first week of school try to have a routine maybe this week is a good time to start cutting having kids go to bed a little bit earlier because I'm sure they're used to kind of that that's been relaxed and for some for us maybe some of you not as much that's a good way to start off that routine go and tell our teachers at the open house will be sharing a communication app which of the Class Dojo so go ahead and join that communication app so you can be up to date with what's happening in the classroom the first week or two we carpool will be a little bit crazy drop off pick up all the things happening so just give a little bit Grace inshallah we will be sending detail carpool directions and we have a really great video made by one of our families so we will go ahead share that with you to make sure you know where they had to get in how to run carpool lot a lot of people outside to help you don't worry we'll make sure you get your child but just be patient in the first week or two until we all get into a rhythm rhythm Isabel carpool this year we are getting going to be stricter with the parents who decide to park this is for the red brick building so as we know from your parents on the red brick building is where Pre-K to third grade will be so we have parents that park right outside the Gate of the red brick building and then they coming through the gate and then cross like a cross the carpool lane to pick their child up from the front door we will no longer be name a city that is it's like it's a really really like a big safety risk for our students to cross the road during carpool and and it also slows down carpet so so we do ask parents if they would like to Park and come pick up their kids that to go and park and I are parking lot especially the one past the red brick building by Gates three you're more than welcome to park and walk down the sidewalk of the red brick building but please no parking on the other side of the I'm just I just noticed a few things that our days are per quarter to clarify and the communication app will be ClassDojo where are returning parents we were using Williamsburg we are going to be getting away from Bloom this year so everybody pre-k through fifth grade inshallah we'll be on ClassDojo are all the kids will be something separate we tried to be very mindful about emails being sent expect in the beginning of the year to be getting emails please don't going out on the emails we try to keep them very to the point I do send an email every Friday and that's normal practice and that'll give you a quick idea about what's the school I went to look for upcoming events sometimes just so you know General thoughts so please make sure you just that you know just read those emails and if you need clarification about things that are happening in the class is just go ahead and ask your child's teacher art teachers are very open and there are ready to work with you yet they just need to just need to know what you're thinking what you have questions about the please go ahead and reach out to them and they will help you as much as possible another great resource is our website there you will find all the teachers little bit of information about them little bit information about us you'll find your lunch card the calendar really end thing you need you need you will find on our website it's a hub for information will be also giving you information on how to log into your school information system so in the beginning you will be getting a lot of and so forth by Charles le as the school year goes by your you can call our policies and procedures in Charlotte big reason why that we decided to do the orientation the week before our open house and record it is because you know I know I just threw out a lot of information to you in the past half an hour but if you still need some clarification you're thinking way I wasn't sure exactly what she said you can go back to the recording and you can find us on Monday at the open house will be around and just ask do you know why you said this in the orientation can you clarify that for us or if there's something that you disgust that's the time you can find this and see if you know if we're able to will take care of it then if not we can schedule some time to talk one-on-one so this is a big reason why we wanted to go ahead and get this orientation out of the way now so you can just let it in a little bit and if you have any if you need any more follow-up or if you have any questions you can feel free to ask Shala I talked a lot and I know I talk fast I apologize if the Habit I'm trying to work on but we but if and I saw some questions that have been answered in the chat but if there is anybody that has any questions now please feel free to raise your digital hand and then we can begin taking questions from all of you hello sister sorry this is Dina Lillian and Nora's Mom I have a question about so you have that that you said that there's an option for a day they pass so do we need to register for that or so or we just let you know if they want to just have them for a day I would recommend if you know they're just hopping in for a day or two of the month then it's definitely worth it to just do the day or two and then yes I do either myself snow or sister party or the front office so I'm so we don't charge you that $5 at a minute however the cost of the per day I honestly can't remember it at the top of my head right now and we can share that information with you but quite substantial in comparison to our monthly rate so if you do you see yourself using Aftercare I would say at least five to six times a month it's probably more of value for you to Bishop to just register them you are welcome to just register for just a month that's something that you can also coordinate with brother Matt head who ultimately the one that debits your accounts so so but if you do have unique a unique situation again brother my head is probably the point of cuz I'm glad you understand we have working parents and and sometimes you work from home and sometimes you don't so he is really a great person to talk to you about after care services okay thank you very much I see one of the questions chat and we can also take Rubble questions no problem but I'm just answer those two if any student have to take some days off what's the process if it is an extended leave then you have to email me to have a mission about conversations with family sometimes War you know who might have extenuating circumstances with families overseas and so forth so it's really conversation if you need a longer and longer days off but if it's you know like if your child is not feeling well. Please keep your child's home so they can get healthy and the rest of us can stay healthy in regards to students staying in the same classes we do do some mixing up of classes so and might not be the exact same group and that's great because then they go read and learn and make it snack in the after-school program or do we pack it we do provide a small snack but if the if you know your child like a picky eater if you think it's not enough then please feel free to pass something extra and the Aftercare teachers will make sure that they go ahead and eat it I'm not sure about the level based approach our classes are what we call heterogeneous their mix they're not based on levels we mix the kids just making sure they're balanced when it comes to boys and girls and so forth first grade only one section second grade three sections of approximately 16 students each is math test for 2nd grade testing is kindergarten through eighth-grade it is nothing to be stressed about we are I have gotten away from this culture I've been focused on testing and being you know high-stakes testing we just want to see that our kids back your children are growing that they at and that's why we do it three times of year so it is from kindergarten through 8th grade and you're welcome for those were thinking is for this information I hope it's been helpful if there are any other questions Now's the Time to ask and again of course you ask any more time no there is only one kindergarten class by the way our school is set up we have one kindergarten 1 preschool Section 1 kindergarten 1 first grade and then when we go up to second grade we have three sections to section the third grade through third through eighth grade so I'm glad the school is very full we think maybe have three four spots open in the whole school from the left and that's where we are right now with enrollment overall yes students can buy a hot lunch only some days you would go ahead and purchase the lunch card and then our teaching our teachers and support staff will know what as they have bought the lunch and I'm out running you want to take the rest of it I'm sorry how does it work with a Meal Pass Lane the teacher know what to order so ours menu is depth sorry yeah so we do have a set menu Monday to Thursday we sent out that that money so on our website has passed and parents information so can rice is everyday but then we add something else with it so usually the Meal Pass once you purchase it our teacher assistants of your child's class will also get notified and they can documents to keep keep it documented that the child has purchased the lunch card which is good for for lunches the child can you use those for lunches any time the parent would like us to do you want to just do it once a week you want to do it consecutively four days in a row usually I'm 4 Pre-K to third grade actually I'm sorry I appreciate a second and third grades are a little more independent but Pre-K to 2nd grade the teacher the TA is are already going through the child's bags I got there there on the boulders out their lunch bags out that's when they would see if a child does not have a lunch they usually assume that the child will be ordering the kids also asked the students who today is going to be ordering a lunch and the kids are put up there and they do verify to make sure first that they don't have a lunch in their bag just want you know the pizza that's being offered that day and then after that the keys will ask the child which option they want either the chicken and rice or whatever is offered that day for a little little ones in pre-k if you worried about your child communicate with a teacher assistant or the teacher you're welcome to message the teacher on Class Dojo on the days or like if you know exactly what your child's going to be having moving forward in the year you're welcome to to a chicken Munich yeah but it's kind of amazing how much I love like the kids are very are very good at communicating what they want for lunch I'm especially once they know what the offerings are and they see them after the first week of school so that kind of just like that. thank you sister Alex and soak up a couple of more questions so for our kindergarten and first grade we have 28 students we only have one section preschool is 20 students we don't go over the cap sleeve. second and a third a second grade we have approximately 16 + and third-grader approximately 18 per section any news on future other men High School in sha Allah will be having a from our board members to look out for the email for a town hall this session is focused on this school year so I'll look out and she'll have her some emails a meeting with our board for more future planning inshallah the Arabic Ricky lemon grade 2 I'm going to just pause on this because we're going to your inshallah when you meet the teachers on Monday they'll be really getting into the curriculum and be able to give you the best in for me and if you can't make it to the open house and please feel free to email them cuz they are definitely the ones who can give you the best answers in this regard we for carpool we don't have a number system we are in route more than the big schools and we really you know after a couple weeks we know everybody and everybody's cars and everything else so we will give you a tag that just indicates which building you're picking up from if you are only a red brick building you will get a wrecked at red tag hang in on your very rear view mirror if you are picking up from both buildings you will get a white tag and then we will know which building to direct you to in sha Allah but again first week or two be a little patient with carpool as I'm sure you're aware of if your child is sick the lunch yet it doesn't get you so it's just a card it only we own the check off your child as you if they are in school and I bought a lunch but we do save it until it is finished and we an end then you would buy a new car app card after the or lunches haven't purchased it does not mean Monday through Thursday weather for lunches it can be you know your child just likes pizza every Tuesday they get pizza so it's only for that the times it's been purchased if you haven't had a car pool tags and Charlotte will go ahead and give it to you this time it's just something in him hang in your mirror signing up for volunteer hours Michelle we will throughout the school year going to be sending information on ways to volunteer ptso also will have lots of so you'll definitely hear about ways you can help volunteer inshallah again when it comes to updating with future plans future buildings I'm going to keep this conversation Focus to our current school year inshallah we will update our families more when it comes to Future planning and Shala what time are running has already answered that first aid is only one section because we have no more space to put them fire code dictates that students in preschool kindergarten first grade must be on the ground floor and we only have three three classrooms on the ground floor so this is why we only have one section of these three 3 grade levels the logos answered I think the questions here have been answered so far thanks to run a real thing out as always new parents there's it's it's impossible for us to answer everything we really really wish we can but that's what the open houses for for you to directly meet your child's teacher because I'm a lot of nuances are also for really determine on the grade on the grade level for pre-k program is very different from my first second grade program so we are confident that once you attend open house in chili dirty and peace of mind for the first day of school on Tuesday and Bella Gigi and second do not have a separate PE uniform it is the same uniform Monday through Friday a parent's that put navy blue on the logo it is white only for the for the red. so that I'm so that is our policy so and all are and that's why I would be a specific vendors like the magic stitches in the EmbroidMe they're aware of our what's required parents who choose to use other vendors for taking the risk of potentially not meeting our requirements so we do encourage you to use our vendors for your students uniforms to avoid any issues I'm someone else has mentioned asking about teaching emotional management healthy communication this is something all staff are doing it doesn't matter to make sure that these skills are something we're cultivating our interventionist does work closely with our character traits of the month she goes into every single classroom preschool through eighth grade and a session with the students talking about what does it look like be patient which is very different if you're in preschool or if you're in eighth grade so much unless she does a great job being them age appropriate for all our students but the other skills are something that we work on every year immunization sister Mae has sent out information that required immunizations are for kindergarten and 7th grade kindergarten parents if you don't need the vaccination requirement by the Sidelines or in the opt-out whatever you decide we cannot have your child in school it is against the law and will be in trouble so it's not for us being difficult but just make sure if your child has not gotten the require immunizations you taken care of that sooner rather than later because we will ask you to keep your child home until that has been taken care of any other questions feel free to on you and asked if that's easier for you no problem a shine and just to remind everybody for carpool will go ahead and send a video I mean you know I wasn't good we can play the video here but it is easier if you can watch it on your own time so we will be sending that soon I'll post a video link in the shower. thank you so again for younger students the PE uniform is not different they wear the same shirt Monday through Friday so the logo would have to be on it as well it's the same shirt everyday on the uniform picture the the gym shirt and the pants is only for middle school that's not for our elementary students that's something new just for our older students that were but everybody else same uniform the uniform uniforms for years with my kids if it's helpful to go ahead in it and then best early in a couple of you no shirts by sure it's 510 it'll definitely last you most mostest lyrics I may be a little bit maybe one size up if needed later on so it's taken care of and you're going to yourself for the whole school year in Shala so if that's something you're able to do that something that would work for us it works for you John and Jason is really need. so the deodorant I know it's on the supply Liz I can't recall exactly what grade I can't remember everything of spineless but it is kind of just how my child basis we we haven't really had like please don't ever think that were expecting kindergarteners and first-graders even 2nd graders to wear deodorant of us upon allow we are finding that some of our children are just maturing physically a lot quicker than in the past so so I think it is just like a case-by-case and you and you know your child best so for elementary school when you do see deodorant as something on the supply list you know your child by someone other than you did not so but that's not something that we are men really the little ones but I was like third graders and they're like ready to be in middle schools are really just depends on the child for the parents who are referencing that they got the Navy embroidery can you is that this this summer at one of our vendors EmbroidMe or magic magic stitches I'm getting a lot of all we a blue so I'm just trying to clarify so if you The Magic Tree for my child and they did white so I am but so they did do it incorrectly but I'm not quite sure it feel free to his parent or any parent that has had that experience with magic stitches EmbroidMe this summer where they got blue stitches can you please shoot me an email just so just so we can handle that together my email DPR alrighty then. and again if any anything comes to you later please feel free to email us and we can clarify anything that'll be that's the best way to get in touch with us even throughout the school year email it's really the best way to get in touch with that I'm speaking personally because there's just a lot going on through the school day so you might tell me something at 8 and I might forget it by 9:30 because I I've been doing so many things between 8 and 9 so by 9:30 something's might fall out of my brain so if you email me it's there I'm always take him back to the to my emails to make sure that I responded to everybody and it's kind of like my own to-do list so email is really the best way to get in touch with myself personally directly throughout the school year and of course the events we have pastries principal and any events that you see us we're at we're around ratchet and to catch up with that I'm going to go ahead and Cholla wrap up thank you so much to all our families for
