Good Afternoon Topsail Annandale Elementary Families! This is Mrs. Wilson with your weekly update. We had a great first week of school! We hope your Ospreys did too! A reminder to all families, our school hours are 7:30-2:30. Student drop off begins at 7:05am. Please do NOT drop students off prior to 7:05 am. Students who are being checked in late must be checked in by 11am to be counted present for the day. Students who are being checked out early, must remain at school until 11:00am to be counted present for the day. We do not allow any early checkouts past 2pm. Thank you for your cooperation. Breakfast and lunch are served on campus daily. The Covid funding that allowed meals to be free the last few years is no longer in place, so meals will be "paid" this year. You may put money on your child's account or apply for free or reduced lunch by clicking the following link: family.titank12.com. Parents, as a reminder if you send in any kind of birthday or special event treats to share with your child's class, they must be store bought. For health and safety reasons, nothing homemade may be shared with our students. If parents would like to join their students for lunch, you are welcome to do so. Please follow these guidelines: come at your child's assigned lunch time, check in in the school's front office and get a visitor's sticker, sit at the assigned "family table" in the cafeteria. For safety reasons, only your child will be allowed to sit with you at the family table (no other students from the class). In addition, if you bring lunch, please only bring food for your child. Due to allergies and health guidelines, we cannot allow you to bring lunch for other students. Families, please make note of these important testing dates. Please make every attempt to have your child in school on these days if the test is applicable to your child's grade level. 3rd grade- Beginning Of Grade test- 9/14/22 Select 4th graders- Read to Achieve- 10/27/22 3rd-4th grade- End Of Grade Math test- 5/16/23 3rd-4th grade- End Of Grade Reading test- 5/18/23 Important Dates: Mon. 9/5- Labor Day Holiday- No School!
