Addison Personal Item Pickup 
**​From our classroom I will pack up their writing notebooks (which you can use over the summer), their headphones if they had a pair at school and any papers of theirs that I had hanging in the hall or around the room. All other supplies were shared among the class and any leftover supplies will just be used next year.**

Families will be able to pick up their child’s personal belongings on Thursday, May 14. Teachers will be placing your child’s items in a bag labeled with their name. These bags will be placed by classroom in the cafeteria. You will be assigned a specific time to pick up your child’s items based on last name.  In order to ensure a safe environment, individuals will be required to wear a mask and only a small number of people will be able to enter the building at a time. Families will be entering the building from the front entrance, walking to the cafeteria to retrieve items, and exiting the building at the bus port.  
Pickup times: 
9am-10am    Last Names A-E 
10am-11am  Last Names F-K 
11am-12pm  Last Names L-R 
12pm-1pm    Last Names S-Z 
Although we miss everyone and would love to have the opportunity to visit with our Addison Families, teachers and staff will not be availableWe are asking that people follow social distancing guidelines and stay at least 6 ft apart from others while waiting to enter the building.  Also, our school is still closed, including all other areas of the building and playgrounds. 
To help make this process as easy as possible, please plan on coming to school at your assigned time. If you are unable to come at that time, we will be open on Friday, May 15, from 9am-11am for any remaining families to retrieve items. All items not picked up by 11am on Friday will be donated or discarded.  
Also, if you have any library books or school items that need to be returned, we will have a location for you to turn those in as you enter the building on May 14 and May 15. 
In an effort to help us with this process, please fill out the short survey below by Wednesday, May 6th Addison Pick-up/Drop-off Survey 


Thank you so much for helping us make this a safe process.

Read the story of “The Grouchy Owl” to your parents.

Grouchy Owl And Brown Mouse

When Brown Mouse was young, her favorite story was The Three Little Pigs. So when she grew up, the mouse made sure to build her house with bricks just like the third pig. In her brick townhouse, Brown Mouse could sleep safely knowing that Grouchy Owl, who lived nearby, could not come in like the big bad wolf. But after dinner, when the mouse took her evening walk, she always had to be careful not to become Grouchy Owl’s dinner.

One evening, after listening to Pop Goes The Weasel, Brown Mouse took off for her evening walk singing. When the mouse sand, “Pop!” the owl woke up, and the chase was on.
Round and round the townhouse the owl chased the brown mouse. But just as Grouchy Owl was about to pounce, Brown Mouse bounced through her tiny townhouse door. Because the door was too small for the owl, he bumped he head, rolled around, and yelled, “Ow!” As Grouchy Owl crawled away in pain and embarrassment, Brown Mouse celebrated by singing Hickory Dickory Dock and running up and down the townhouse clock.
