SNOW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
August 20, 2017
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Welcome to Snow School! We are very excited to have the opportunity to teach your child this year.
The first day of school is TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2017. It will be a half day of school for all students. School begins at 8:35 AM and will end at 11:45 AM on the first day.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 will be a full day of school for students in grades 1st-5th. School will begin at 8:35 AM (tardy bell at 8:40 AM) and end at 3:35 PM. Kindergarten students will attend 8:35AM – 11:45PM the first week of school. They will attend full days beginning on Monday, September 11.
I thank you in advance for getting your children to school on time and ready to learn. I look forward to seeing all of you on opening day! Please subscribe to the Snow School blog for updated information about the school calendar and Open House, as well as school events at https://snow.dearbornschools.org
We will be posting the class lists on the office windows facing Culver Street, adjacent to Door1 by 6:00 PM on Friday, September 1. Please be aware that we may need to make changes to your child’s class assignment after the school year begins due to situations beyond our control, such as late enrollments and/or teacher grade changes.
We’re looking forward to another successful school year!

If it is raining or the wind chill is less than 20 degrees: Students enter the building through the lobby (Doors 1 and 10) at 8:25am and proceed to the gym to line up with their class.
All staff will be in the lineup areas, main lobby area, and hallways to assist parents and children as needed. Class lists and signs will be posted on the main lobby windows.

Dismissal: For safety reasons, we ask that parents remain outside at dismissal. Students will be escorted by their teacher to their exit doors (same as entry doors). Bus riders will be escorted to the bus and Kid’s Club by specially-trained 5th grade students serving as Safety Coordinators. If you need to get your child before dismissal, you will need to sign your child out in the main office.
*If you have multiple children at Snow, please speak to your child’s teacher and/or the office and we will work together to develop an alternate plan so your children can dismiss from the same door. For safety reasons, we cannot dismiss students before the bell to pick up siblings in other areas of the school.
