Principal’s Memo – December 8, 2023
Posted on
December 8, 2023
Good morning,
Temperatures are really starting to reflect the winter season. As a reminder, our students go outside frequently, so proper attire is necessary. Our grades 3-5 students go outside for recess as long as the feels like temperature is 15° or higher. That means wearing a jacket, hat and gloves to help stay warm. If your child needs some assistance with any of those clothing materials, please reach out to Ms. Milligan, our school counselor.
Trimester 1 Report Cards Go Home Today
These will be sent digitally to the email that we have on file with our Student Information System this afternoon. Should you have any issues with viewing/finding your child’s report card, please reach out to the main office. If you have any questions about the information on the report card, please contact your child’s teacher(s).
Please join us for our annual Holiday Concert!
Featuring our middle school and high school Concert Bands and Choirs. On Thursday, December 14th at 6:00 PM right here at the Loranger Gymnasium. We hope to see you there!
Snow/Remote Day Information
Please see the snow/remote day memo sent out by Superintendent Suttie.
Healthy Snacks for Celebrations
With the holidays fast approaching, it is a great time to remind everyone that we do have a district wellness policy that addresses healthy snacks for celebrations and events. We ask that any time you are thinking about sending in food for celebrations you check with your child’s teacher who will work with administration to ensure that our celebrations are in line with our district policy. Our wellness team has shared the document at the end of this memo to assist with some ideas. Thank you.
Arrival & Dismissal Safety Procedures
I would like to remind everyone that for the safety of our students and staff the back side of our building including our parking lot is not a thruway. We have seen an increase in the number of vehicles using this as a cut through from Jameson Hill Road to Emerson Cummings Blvd and vice versa. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation with this in order to keep our students safe!
Family Vacation Forms
During the school year some families take vacations and ask that we excuse their children from school days. This is not a problem, however, we do have forms to sign off on in order to help students understand the expectations of making up missed work. The forms can be found in the main office. Thanks for your help!

- Thursday 12/14 – RSU 23 Music Department Holiday Concert
