Good afternoon caregivers of Arnold H. McLeod School,

This is the weekly message for Friday September 6^th:

Welcome back!  We are extremely pleased with our first week of school.  The students are quickly settling in and learning the new routines and procedures.

We would like to remind everyone of the importance of locks if students are bringing their bikes, scooters, skateboards, etc. to school.  Also, students are not allowed to bring technology from home, i.e., tablets, phones, etc.

If you are sending your child to school with a snack that requires a spoon or a fork, please also send along the utensil.  We are unable to provide utensils for students.

The student fee for the 2024-2025 school year is $25.  This fee can be paid online via School Cash net (preferred) or by sending in the money to your child’s teacher.   This is in addition to the $40 that Kindergarten students pay for the school supply fee.

Please make note of the very important information to follow on morning and end of day procedures. Supervision begins at 8am. Please do drop off or have your children arrive prior to that time. At the end of the day all K-2 parents are asked to wait on the playground area by the K door for pick up, not before 2:40pm. Please remain back from the door. Their teachers will bring them to that location to meet you. We kindly ask that you are watching for your child’s teacher and that if possible, you stand in a consistent location to help aid the process of making eye-contact before sending the student to you.

AHM will be hosting its annual Meet the Staff Night on Thursday September 12^th at 6:30 pm. The evening will begin with presentations in the gymnasium.

The fall picture day will take place on Monday, September 23^rd.

Just a reminder that all students are encouraged to bring a refillable water bottle to school.

Thank you to Lewisville Baptist Church and Headstart for donating school supplies to a few students/families in need.  We are Grateful Gators for your kindness.

That’s all for this week.  Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
