Walk, Bike, & Roll to School

The Aumsville Fall Bike/Walk to School Day is coming up Wednesday, October 15th. Kinder is not participating in this event.

Permissions slips went home this week. If students are not biking, they will be going on a walk. The permission slip is two sided, one side has walking and one side has biking. Please reiterate to students that they need to pick ONE of the options. If students do not bring a permission slip, they will take their walk within the fence on campus. EVERYONE is invited to participate whether they bring a permission slip or not. Bikes are the only thing they are allowed to ride! No scooters, longboards, etc. Helmets and PE shoes are required for the bikers and a good idea for the walkers. Here is the schedule for the day:

7:30-8:00: Eat breakfast and go to class as usual
8:00-8:45: All 3-5 students are dismissed to their Bike or Walk spot.

**Bike riders go to the shed to get their bikes and begin staging in the bus lanes. Then begin the ride to the firehouse, down main street, and then back to Aumsville.

**Walkers will line up along the bus lane to send the riders off, then will begin their walk. Walkers will walk around the Aumsville neighborhood and back.

9:00-9:45: All 1-2 students are dismissed to their Bike or Walk spot.

**Bike riders go to the 3-5 gym to get their bikes and begin staging in the bus lanes. Then begin the ride around the residential streets near Aumsville in a continuous loop.

**Walkers will line up along the bus lane to send the riders off, then will begin their walk. Walkers will walk around the Aumsville neighborhood and back.

We will be riding down Main Street. This has always been the highlight of the ride. Family members are welcome to join us!

We are updating our Hero board with new pictures. If you would like yourself or a family member to be added, please bring or send in a quality photo to the office. Please include Name, Branch of Service, and how they are related to someone at the school.

Thank you for helping us honor our local hero's!

We Love To Read

Each month a reading calendar will go home to encourage students to read. October's calendar has gone home in red folders. They are also below if needed. Research has shown that reading to or with children at a young age can increase academic achievement and cognitive function as well as decrease stress, depression and behavioral issues as they grow.

Toys & Equipment

Please make sure all toys and equipment are kept home. These items can be lost, stolen, and very distracting to the learning environment. Please contact your student's teacher with any questions about specific items.

Absences

Please contact the office for any absences, tardies, or late arrivals within 2 days.

If there is a change in the go home plan, please call before 2:00 pm.
