Cafeteria Volunteers Reminder
Reminder: Volunteers needed in the cafeteria to help the students manage our composting system! Black Earth collects bags of compostable waste from all the schools in the district, but our younger students need some help managing their trays and sorting items appropriately. Please use the SignUpGenius link to cover some lunchtime shifts so we can minimize the mess and maximize the compost!

Picture Retake Day Reminder
Second Time's a Charm! Picture Retake Day is coming up on Tuesday 11/12/24. If you are not completely satisfied with your child's student portrait, or they missed picture day, you have the opportunity to get a retake photo. Please return the undamaged individual portrait package to the photographer on Retake Day. You may keep the class photo. If you have any specific instructions for the photographer, please jot them down so they show through the envelope window and can be easily spotted. Retake packages will be distributed at school approximately 3-5 weeks following Retake Day. If any families have questions – please contact Coffee Pond Customer Service Dept.
