Parent Forms due Monday
 

Every Wednesday, the youngest or only student in each family will bring home weekly handouts. This past Wednesday, two very important forms were sent home:

  • The Student Health Disclosure Form should be completed by each family, even if your student does not have a medical need. A blank copy can be found HERE.
  • The Family Directory Form only needs to be completed if your contact information needs to be updated in the Embers Directory. A blank copy can be found HERE.
It is important that these forms be returned to the front office by this Monday, September 8th. Thank you!
