Northside Elementary

Great first day at NES! Here are some reminders: -The school day ends at 3 pm. Any students who are not picked up by 3 pm will be sent to afterschool care where a daily charge will be in effect. -Any students who did not register at the bus orientation will need to complete the registration form that went home today. Please give to the bus driver in the morning. -No walkers will be dismissed until 3 pm due to safety and an increased car rider line. It is best to join the line. -Please refrain from getting out of your car in the car rider line. We also use our front parking area for the buckle up zone as we are not authorized to buckle children. - No ice cream sales until next Tuesday. -We sent home a fundraiser permission form for the chocolate sales to benefit our Renaissance program. Please complete these and return to school tomorrow. -Shirt order forms came home and you can use our online pay system to secure a shirt- https://polkcountyga.schoolwindow.com/captcha.html?requested_page=%2Festore.html -Kindergarten parents- please complete the home language survey that was sent home today. Return to school tomorrow. -Remember if your child has a transportation change, we must have this in writing, not over the phone due to safety protocols. We appreciate an awesome day at school and look forward to another great day tomorrow!
