Our annual Fifth Grade Living Wax Museum was a huge success!  Students researched people who have made a difference in our world and wrote a 5 paragraph essay.  They also created a poster and a timeline that reflected their learning.  A photostory was created by each student which includes finding pictures, creating captions and adding music to create a short movie about their hero.  Finally, they wrote a speech, found costumes and props and presented their hero to parents and the rest of the students and staff at Anderson.  We think they did a tremendous job!

                               

    

New Dismissal Procedures!

In our continuing effort to maximize student safety while also getting students home quickly, we will be making some changes to our dismissal procedures. Starting Monday, May 6th, students who are normally picked up out front will instead wait in the cafeteria. They will be released to parents/guardians from there. Students who are released out the back doors, who ride buses, or who walk on their own will not be affected.

Parents who usually meet students outside the main entrance to walk home will instead come through the front doors and go to the cafeteria to get them.

Car riders will be dismissed through the cafeteria doors. Cars will form a single-file line in the drive approaching the cafeteria. School staff will communicate to get students outside as their rides near the front of the line. To help us keep things moving as quickly as possible, please write the names and grade levels of any students who ride with you on an 8”x11” paper and place it on the passenger side of the inside of your windshield.

Please be patient and attentive to changes in traffic flow as we implement and refine these new procedures.

Anderson is a uniform school. Students are expected to be in uniform each and every day. Parents will be contacted if students arrive at school not wearing the approved uniform. The dress code is as follows:




Shirts must be solid red, white, light blue, or navy blue, and must have sleeves and collars. Boys' shirts must be tucked in at all times. If girls are wearing fitted/tailored shirts, they will not be required to tuck them in.

 - Tank tops, sleeveless shirts, spaghetti straps, hooded sweatshirts, and shirts that show midriff are not permitted.
 - Any logos on tops or bottoms must be smaller than the size of a thumb.
 - No extremely oversized or baggy clothing.
 - Students may wear a long-sleeved shirt under their short-sleeved, collared shirt; however, these must also be in the dress code colors.
 - Jackets may be worn in the classroom as needed. Only uniform sweaters (not hoodies or sweatshirts) are allowed throughout the building and must be in the dress code colors.
