Happy Last Day of August, Shute Parents! You have hopefully received the newsletter and attached documents, if not yet you will soon or you can view it through our website under Documents or News. We also wanted to make sure everyone has had a chance to view the Arrival/Dismissal parking lot document (included in the newsletter). Nothing has changed just wanted to share it out for everyone! Thank you for your patience as we have worked through the first few weeks of school getting everyone back into a routine. Hopefully you have noticed the improvement in time and efficiency and we will continue to work to make it as smooth as possible. Have a great day!
