Good evening, Conner Street Families we have a few items on tonight’s call out.
First, drop-off and pick-up have been going very well since the first day. Thank you all so much for following our traffic pattern and being so kind and patient. Reminder – Please DO NOT park in our lot to drop off. If you want to walk your child to the entrance, feel free to park at Forrest Burdette. Pre-K will be starting Tuesday, August 30th and those parents MUST park here to walk their child to the door. Additionally, traffic will be a little more difficult to navigate when we add our Pre-K, but hopefully we transition smoothly like have the last two days. Pre-K Drop off is at 7:30, please do not arrive early.
Second, there is a PTB meeting at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, August 31st in our cafeteria. Please feel free to attend.
Third, a quick reminder to turn in all required forms. If you choose to purchase computer insurance, that needs to be taken care of at home, not sent to the school. Lastly, if you received a health card that was blank on the back, please let us know and we will send home a correct form.
Have a great weekend!
Good evening, Conner Street families, there are a few items in this callout so please listen carefully. Most is a review of our last call out.
First, thank you so much to everyone who attended Open House it was great meeting all of you.
Second, please remember that on the first day of school, parents must stay in their vehicle in the drop off lanes to expedite the traffic flow and maintain student safety. We will make sure your student makes it into the school and to the right classroom. If you are dropping your child off, please make sure to follow the traffic pattern of Lynn Avenue to Shank Avenue to Conner Street. Also, you will notice that the city has painted DO NOT BLOCK on the road at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Conner Street, this will allow our buses to merge in easily and keep traffic moving. Once all buses have dropped off, we will be able to open both lanes for car drop off.
Third, Kindergarten - 5th grade students may be dropped off starting at 7:10 AM, school will begin at 7:30 and the tardy bell will ring at 7:40. School will dismiss at 2:30, starting with students that ride buses. After buses have departed, we will start releasing walkers and car pickups. Walker pickup has been moved to the end of the first grade hall over near the staff parking lot. Pre-K families will receive information specific to them later this week.
Lunches are not free for all students this year, menus are posted on Schoology, as well as the school webpage.
Finally, If you are doing car pick up please make sure to have your car tag prominently displayed in your window from the time you pull in until the time your children load into your car. This will be especially helpful the first couple of weeks while we are getting to know all our students, their families, and vehicles. It will also allow us to see which vehicles are still waiting for students. If you do not already have a car sign, please feel free to make one for yourself on that first day and we will get your names and get one ready for you by Thursday.
Looking forward to seeing our students on Wednesday, have a great evening.

We will also have bus drivers here to answer transportation questions.
Next, please take advantage of open house to take any pictures that you want with our back-to-school bulletin board and props as well as the school sign. On the first day of school, parents must stay in their vehicle in the drop off lanes to expedite the traffic flow and maintain student safety.

7:10 AM, school will begin at 7:30 and the tardy bell will ring at 7:40. School will dismiss at 2:30, starting with students that ride buses. After buses have departed, we will start releasing walkers and car pick ups. Walker pick up has been moved to the end of the first grade hall over near the staff parking lot. Parents are welcome to wait on the benches in front of the main entrance until dismissal, at which time they will need to move over to the Walker pick up area. Pre-K families will receive information specific to them next week.
Finally, If you are doing car pick up please make sure to have your car tag prominently displayed in your window from the time you pull in until the time your children load into your car.

We are looking forward to seeing you on Friday and hoping for a great 2022-2023 school year.
Good evening Conner Street Families – This call out is just a reminder that Open House for all grades Pre-K through 5th will be this coming Friday, August 19th. Last names starting with A-K will be from 4:00 – 4:55, and L-Z is 5:05 – 6:00. If you have students with last names that fall into both groups, please just select one time slot for all your children to attend. Additional parking is available at Forrest Burdette. Lastly, when you arrive on Friday, please make sure to check the updated class lists (some shuffling did occur due to student transfers) and the maps for drop-off/pick-up, especially those of you that are walker pick-up because that location has changed. More details to come closer to the start of school on this change.
Good afternoon, Conner Street Families, first thanks to all of you who came out to help at our beautification day. Secondly, class lists are posted at the school. PLEASE make sure to read the announcements postings on the MAIN DOOR before checking out class lists. Additionally, we will have updated student drop-off/pick-up maps posted, these do include a new place for walker pick-ups that will help alleviate congestion at the front door. This will be described in detail closer to the first day of school.
A call will go out this evening about class lists, it does NOT apply to preschool. Preschool teachers will reach out to students/parents individually. Have a great day!
Good evening Connor Street families. We have a few pieces of information in this evening‘s call out. Number one class lists will be posted midweek at the school, they will not be on social media. Many parents prefer that their students information not be shared on social media platforms, so to honor their wishes and our students privacy and safety those lists will be posted at school and we ask that you not take photos to post on social media. We will do a call when they are posted. (Should be Wednesday)
Secondly when school starts on August 24th the administrators at Conner Street will begin posting information on Schoology and the school website, we will not be using Facebook as our means of communication. The reason for this is that often misinformation is shared on Facebook, and it makes our jobs more difficult to have to go and clear up the confusion. Therefore we will post things on the school website, on Schoology, and we will continue to do regular callouts. If you do not have your Schoology account set up, you can contact your child’s teacher or one of the administrators for the access code to do so. The PTB page will remain active and our wonderful PTB will continue to share information about PTB events.
Lastly, this Friday (Aug. 12), Putnam County Schools is holding a Back to School Bash at Hurricane High School. The hours are from 10 AM to 1 PM, the student must be present in order to pick up the grade appropriate supplies.
Suggested donation classroom supply lists are attached for 4th and 5th grades.
Please note that these are suggested and not required, any student that choses not to purchase items needed for student success will have the materials provided for them without penalty. Ms. Harrison, our music teacher has asked for students to bring headphones or ear buds (whichever fit best) for the student iPads for use in music class as well. Please remember free backpacks and school supplies will be available at the Putnam County Schools " Back to School Blast" this Friday, August 12th from 10:00 a - 1:00 pm at Hurricane High School. Students should bring a parent or guardian when picking up a backpack. We are looking forward to a successful school year at CSE!

Good evening! This is Sara Rooper and Alison Warner, we are the new administrators at Conner Street.
