Dear Perry Families,

We are already 18 days into the school year, and I want to thank you for helping make the start of 2025–2026 an amazing one. Your support, patience, and partnership have made a big difference in setting the tone for a strong year of learning!

📊 Beginning-of-Year Screeners
This week, our staff will begin BOY screeners to learn more about each student’s strengths and needs. Please check your grade-level newsletters and calendar for specific details. These assessments help us guide instruction and support your child’s growth.

🎉 Upcoming Spirit Days (Dates updated on ParentSquare Calendar)
Tuesday – Bring Your Teddy Bear to School 🧸 (PJs or comfy clothes allowed)
Thursday – Wear Red, White, and Blue 
We love seeing our Falcons show their spirit and have fun while learning!

🚗 Safety Reminders: Pick-Up & Drop-Off
Keeping students safe is our #1 priority, and we need your help:

Pick-Up (Afternoon):

• Please remain in your vehicle while in the car line.
• Staff are there to assist your child in getting safely into the car.
• If your child needs help with seatbelts, please pull forward into the designated Buckle Zone in the staff lot.

Drop-Off (Morning):

Morning Drop-Off Procedures

• Front Entrance (7:30–8:00 a.m.): The front entrance is reserved for bus riders, walkers, and parents who need to visit the office. Parents should only use the front doors for drop-off during this time if they have business inside the building.
• Car Rider Drop-Off (7:30–8:00 a.m.): Parents dropping off students by car should use the designated car rider line. Staff will be present to assist your child safely out of the car and into the building. Parents are not permitted to walk students to the doors, as this creates congestion, blocks staff visibility, and reduces security.
• After 8:00 a.m.: All student drop-offs should take place at the front entrance only. Staff will be there to receive students.

Thank you for helping us keep arrival safe, smooth, and efficient for everyone!
