Picture Day will be on Thursday, November 5 and there will be a makeup day on Tuesday, November 10. The students that are remote and the A day sixth graders will have their pictures done on Tuesday, November 10. This year it was suggested that we have parents pre-order the pictures. The order forms will be going home with the students today. You can also purchase them after picture day but we can't guarantee them by a certain date and there may be additional shipping fees.
The link below will allow parents to sign up to receive updates via email regarding their child's school portraits. These updates include promotions, additional deals, and the ability to order more pictures at a later time. When entering student information, parents should be sure to enter the student's name as it is on file at the school. https://strawbridge.fotomerchanthv.com/clients/comfort-elementary-school/fall-pictures-11-5-2020-4/optIn

We know Halloween is going to be a little different this school year. We are going to invite students to wear school appropriate costumes to school on Friday, October 30. No costume mask or props will be allowed. Costumes need to reflect positive themes. Please remember our school has very young children in some grades, and we do not want to scare anyone.
On Monday, October 26, we will begin our Plan A for Pre-K - 5th grade. We will have new bus routes and times. We have been calling parents with these new times. If you have not heard from us, please call the school. We still want car riders to be dropped off at the front of the school. No one can be dropped off before 7:35. Please have patience, we will have more students and we still will be doing temperature checks. With more students, it will take more time. Bus riders will still have their temperature checked as they get on the bus. At school we will be following the same health and safety procedures that we followed during Plan B.
Students have been bringing home the new learning contracts and attestation forms for the new 9 weeks that begins October 26. Please sign and return these forms as quickly as possible. Remote only parents can stop by the school office to sign these forms. Thank you!
