Rain is in the forecast. Please note our "Rainy Day" Drop off and Pick up procedures for carline. 1. Stop at the cone with the blue top. 2. Wait for a staff member to get your child out in the morning or bring your child to the car in the afternoon. 3. Be patient because rainy days will take longer. Staff members will walk each child under an umbrella to and from the cars.

Tomorrow is the last day to pay for Pizza for the year. There will be 4 pizza days throughout the year. You can not pay for this individually. Also, tomorrow is the last day we will accept "pre-pay bundles" (class shirt + snoballs + pizza for the year). *Note: If your student is absent the day of pizza or snoballs, your money will not be refunded. It will be donated to our fundraiser. We will still accept money for class shirts after tomorrow, but they need to be ordered ASAP so please turn in your money.

🎶Mrs. West's PK class had a fun time dancing and playing in free centers during Music class. At the beginning of the school year, teachers are focusing on teaching students how to have Safe behavior and Acting respectful with their classmates. Our Little Griffins SOAR behavior expectations are a great example of Habit 1: Be Proactive, I'm in charge of me. 😊 ♥️ 💙

Good afternoon NDLE Parents,
In an effort to continuously improve your carpool experience and your time spent in it, please adhere to this graphic. If turning left, to get onto Hwy 171 South, please turn left at the sign. If needing to turn right, to get onto Hwy 171 North, please continue straight to the smaller parking lot and around to turn right onto Hwy 171 North. There is also a buckle area forward to the right. Signs will be posted and people available for help. #DreamBelieveAchieve #WinningTogether

We are excited and blessed to have Mrs. Edwards join our NDLE Team this year. From day one, she has not skipped a beat. She was setting the tone and creating her class culture when she and her students discussed abundance versus scarcity, this morning. Her students know what is expected and what they are capable of from the moment they walk into the room. Mrs. Edwards and her students are the #DeSotoDifference #DreamBelieveAchieve

Good morning Little Griffin Family!
We have had a great first few days of school. In an effort to try to make your time in our Carpool Line more efficient, I am offering you another option to try to get back onto Hwy 171. I have dedicated four parking spots as a turn to get to Hwy 171 South. That turn is at the last island, at the end of the carpool line. My goal, is for you to be in and out, in a safe manner, and I thank you for your patience as we work through a year plus of construction, and coordinate with the other schools' traffic flow. Please follow the graphic provided. #DreamBelieveAchieve #WinningTogether
Thank you,
Mr. Tabor
