Our annual Halloween Parade will take place on Thursday, October 31 at 8:10 A.M., weather permitting.  

Parents may stand around the blacktop and playground to watch the parade. Please see the attached map for the parade route details.  

Please help us ensure a safe parade environment by taking note of the school-wide expectations for Halloween costumes:

  • Have your student arrive at school in costume
  • No weapon-like accessories
  • No blood and gore
  • Minimal face paint
  • No masks 

Parents must leave campus immediately after the conclusion of the parade.

The library will be open for students who cannot participate.  Upon completion of the parade, regular classroom instruction will resume.

Regular, on-time attendance is essential for building good habits and academic success. As the school year begins, it's important to stress that being in school every day helps your child stay on track with lessons, engage in activities, and strengthen their learning foundation. This leads to better grades and a deeper understanding of the material.

Attendance also instills key life skills like responsibility, punctuality, and perseverance. It fosters strong relationships with peers and teachers, which supports social and emotional growth. Missing even a day or two can set your child back, so prioritizing attendance is crucial.

We look forward to greeting all students on time every day!

Welcome back Cougars!  We are excited to see everyone on Wednesday, August 21st.  Staff has been working hard for several weeks getting ready for the new school year.  We know that this year will be filled with lots of learning, collaboration, and FUN.  

 

To help ensure the safety of all, please note these reminders regarding morning drop off and afternoon pickup:  

 

  • School gates will open at 7:50 AM and students are to make their way to their classroom lines.  Adults may enter campus and wait with their children.  

  • Please refrain from playing on the play structure or with equipment during morning drop off.

  • School starts at 8:00 AM sharp.  Any student arriving after this time will need to check in with the office for a tardy slip.

  • After school adults will be allowed on campus to pick up students. 

  • TK, kinder, first grade, and second grade students must be picked up at their classrooms unless arrangements have been made with your child’s homeroom teacher.

  • All adults and students need to leave campus immediately after pick up.  We have Campbell Care and other programs on campus that require us to secure the campus for everyone's safety.

  • Please do not park in the circular driveway, this is used for loading and unloading only.    We need to keep the traffic flowing.

  • Capri does have a bus that will be dropping off and picking students up each day.  Please do not block the bus loading zone in front of the preschool playground.

  • Let’s be good neighbors and not block driveways or mailboxes.

 

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Staying focused in class is tough on an empty stomach. That's why ensuring your child is well-nourished is a top priority at Capri. Thanks to the Universal Free Meals program, all students receive meals at no cost, helping them stay energized and ready to learn throughout the day.

To help families plan ahead, here is how it works:

Monthly Menus:

Parents can easily access the school’s monthly meal menus on our school’s home page, making it simple to plan ahead and keep track of what’s being served.

Meal Applications Matter:

Filling out a school meals application isn’t just about ensuring your child gets nutritious meals—it also benefits the entire school community. For every student who applies and qualifies for free or reduced-price meals, the school receives over $1,000 in grant funding. These funds are used for crucial resources like student technology, after-school programs, counseling services, and kitchen equipment. Additionally, qualifying families may be eligible for free or discounted internet services and summer camp opportunities.

For more information, please contact the school office or visit the Child Nutrition Department’s website.
