Dear Niangua Elementary Parents,
We are very excited to welcome our students back for the first day of school! To ensure a smooth and safe start, we wanted to share some important information with you.
Morning Drop-Off Procedures:
Parents will not be able to walk their students to class or wait with them inside the school. Due to strict maximum occupancy numbers and fire code regulations, we cannot accommodate all students and their parents in our spaces.
Please drop your student off at the cafeteria door. If you plan on using the car line, please remain in your vehicle. If you need to exit your car for any reason, we kindly ask that you park in a designated parking space. This will help us keep the flow of traffic moving, ensuring an efficient and safe car line.
Boohoo Breakfast:
We understand that the first day of school can be emotional, so we are hosting a "Boohoo Breakfast" in the Library until 7:45. We invite you to join us after dropping off your child. Simply enter through the High School front doors and make your way to the Library, where we'll be providing mini muffins and coffee.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday! Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to make the first day a success.
Best regards,
Niangua School Administration
