Update from Mrs. Kirchner

Hello!

First of all, I want to apologize for having to miss the first week of 4th grade! It has been absolutely heartbreaking to be kept away, and miss out on meeting each and every one of your wonderful 4th graders! Due to some unforeseen medical issues, I have had to be out this week. Thankfully, I received the "okay" from my doctor to return this Monday. I couldn't be happier! I am looking forward to coming back to Imagine Andrews, and to start off an exciting year.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have.

-Mrs. Kirchner :)

ARRIVAL TIME: 8:15 a.m. (doors open)

New Staggered Dismissal 
Beginning the 2015-2016 school year, all students in grades K-5 will be dismissed at 2:40 p.m. - 2:55 p.m. and students in grades 6-8 will be dismissed at 3:10 p.m. -3:25 p.m. Parents who have children in elementary and middle school should not retrieve their children until the 3:10 p.m.-3:25 p.m. dismissal. Children in grades K-5 who have siblings in middle school will be placed in a supervised classroom until their older sibling is called over the walkie-talkie to be dismissed. This slight change will help the carline be more efficient, operating at a steady pace. In addition, teachers will have an opportunity to collaborate and plan after school across grade-levels. Teachers will be encouraged to sponsor more afterschool clubs and activities to enrich our students’ educational experience at Imagine Andrews Public Charter School as well.
