Good Afternoon, Ivy Hall Families,
We can feel the excitement in the school as we near closer to Winter Break. Winter classroom parties are scheduled for next Friday, December 20th. Thank you in advance to the PTO and all the parent volunteers who help support and lead these fun activities.
As a friendly reminder, please ensure to follow all traffic related procedures for student dropoff and pickup. These procedures include no student dropoff or pickup on Clohessy Drive as well as avoiding parking in the fire lane when making a trip to the front office. Thank you for your partnership in following these procedures to keep our students safe!
Have a great weekend,
Mike Senatore

The After School Sports teachers want to stress appropriate behavior during our after school sports time. If your student is unable to act appropriately, there will be some type of consequence. Consequences will range from a time out or to being permanently removed from the After School Sports program. Parents, we are counting on you to discuss this with your child and support our enforcement of rules when they apply to your situation.
Thank you for your interest and support in our After School Sports program. After School Sports will be a positive experience for everyone! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you!
Rebecca Mosior and Enzie Pangilinan
