❗3-hour Early Release on Monday, September 23This Monday, September 23rd, is our first 3-hour Early Release of the school year. Dismissal will begin at 12:20 p.m. We encourage all parents/caregivers to have their student take their normal route home (bus, walk, kiss and ride) on early dismissal days. While these are designated as early release days — where necessary, we will ensure that every student has supervised activities at the school and returns home at the regular time if that is what works best for your family.
☕New Parent Coffee with Dr. AsteOur principal, Dr. Aste, will be hosting an informational coffee talk for families new to Mosaic on Wednesday, September 25th at 9:00 a.m. in our cafeteria. Join us and learn about all the great things that happen at our school!
📸 Picture Days are September 26 and 27!Your child’s teacher will communicate the specific day and time. Look for order forms in next week’s Wednesday folders. We are also looking for volunteers - please consider signing up.
🟣Purple Star Schools - Student Videos Needed!The Purple Star USA National Convening of Schools & Communities is seeking Military Connected Children/Youth to speak about their experiences as Military Connected Children/Youth.

The committee is looking for videos 60 seconds or less. More info can be found on our website. Videos are due by September 27, 2024.

✔️ Parent/Caregiver Checklist: Have You Completed These Important Forms?We understand that the multiple school forms caregivers receive during the first weeks of school can feel overwhelming, but each one helps set your child up for a successful school year! If you do not have a SIS ParentVUE account, please contact your child’s school for an activation code and follow the directions on the SIS ParentVUE Account webpage.
📋 Permission Forms
Families can easily grant permission for their children to access a variety of school resources through the Parent Digital Consent system. Parents can opt their child in or out of resources including online educational tools, school counseling services, and tutoring services. They can also change how student information is managed.Visit the Parent Digital Consent webpage to access the system. Watch this video to see how to use the tool.
Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R)
The SR&R document explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses. Parents using SIS ParentVUE will be prompted to sign the document when logging in to that platform. A printable version of the document with a signature sheet is available on the SR&R webpage. This form should be signed and returned by Friday, September 30.
