Hi Miner Families!

Report cards will be coming home in your child's backpack on Friday, November 13. 

Lost & Found Clearance Notice: November 9–20
Our Lost & Found collection has grown significantly! To help reunite these items with their owners, we will have all items set out on tables during drop-off and dismissal next week (November 9–13). You can find them set up outside near both the Parent Pick-Up area and the main front entrance.
Please take a moment to stop by and check for any of your family’s missing belongings.
Important Upcoming Dates:
  • November 9–13: Items available outside at Parent Pick-Up and front entrance.
  • November 16–20: Remaining unclaimed items will be offered to school families for $1 each.
  • November 20: All leftover items will be donated to local community organizations.

Warmly,
Principal Harding

Parent Volunteers?

Families, if you are looking for an opportunity to plug in and help us keep students safe, but can't volunteer during the day, here is an opportunity where we would love to have your volunteer. Please leave your name with the Mel or Kirsten in the front office and the school will train and schedule you for this opportunity.

Fit for Fun | Wahooz!

Hey Miners!
We are about a month away from the due date for the Wahooz Fit for Fun activity logs, which is December 4th. Keep working on being active and coloring in those stars!

Please let Mr. Hoehne know if you need another fitness log. Feel free to color in stars from previous activities all the way back to October 1st. Remember, it is one star per 30 minutes of exercise or physical activity.

Mr. Hoehne will get names turned in to Wahooz after December 4th. Passes will then be distributed once they are sent to school, usually in February. Keep it up Miners! You guys are doing great!
 

Volleyball Camp?

Hello,
I am Coach Beers, Fremont Middle School 8th Grade Volleyball Coach.  I would like to share a great opportunity for 4th and 5th graders who want to keep improving on your volleyball skills over Thanksgiving break.  Idaho One is a great club and does an awesome job putting on these camps.  My daughters, Joslyn and Lydia who play for Kuna High School's volleyball team and play for Idaho One, will be there helping out.  I would strongly suggest this camp to anyone interested in volleyball.

Please include Joslyn Beers or Lydia Beers in the "how did you hear about us" section of registration.  This is a great opportunity as a 4th or 5th grade student to learn the game at a competitive level.  My daughters are having a contest to see who can register the most athletes for this camp, so please put their name in when you register.  
Feel free to contact me at MBeers@kunaschools.org  if you have any questions and share this with anyone else who may be interested.

Thank you for your time and we hope to see you at the camp.

Student Drop Off / End of Day Pick Up

Thank you for your patience before and after school and for following signs and staff directions to ensure the safety of all our students. At the end of each day, all Miners will go home in one of these 3 categories: Flagpole Pickup, Bus, or Drive Through.
  • Flagpole Pickup - students that walk home or have a parent park and collect students.
  • Bus - students that ride a bus
  • Drive Through - guardians that pick up their child from the west parking lot car line.
Drop Off/Pick Up Reminders


  • Safety of your child(ren) is our priority. Please pick up and drop off your child in the designated areas.
  • Be patient, especially as we start the school year and the pick/up drop off routines are new to many families. We will have staff to support you and others outside.
  • Give yourself extra time to safely drop off/pick up.
  • Be patient with other parents/guardians in the drop off/pick up line.
  • No drop off/pick up in the bus lane.
  • Do not park in the drop off/pick up lane. If you need to park, use a designated parking spot and thank you for not parking against the red painted curb in the west end of the parking lot,
  • Drop off may begin no earlier than 8:30 AM because there is no student supervision until then.
  • Pull forward as far as you can. Discuss with your child(ren) the type of car (color, make, model) you will be in at pick up.
  • Use designated cross walks to access the parking lot or sidewalks.
  • Call the office by 2:00pm if there will be a change in the way your child will normally go home so the teacher can be made aware. (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) Notify the office of changes by 12:00 PM on Wednesdays.

Thank you for not parking against the red paint on the west end of parent pickup.
