Condit Elementary
Welcome to Condit!
We have accomplished a lot in these first few days of school. Our Back to
School Nights are complete. We have reviewed expectations with our students
both inside and outside of the classroom. Our upper grade students were introduced to instrumental band and were able to check out the different instruments.
Finally, the whole school went to the Fair. I think we are off to a great start.
Thank you to all of our parents that are following the routines and procedures in regards to drop off and pick up. Our classrooms have been able to start
the day immediately because our hallways are clear and students are ready for
instruction. Please remember that school begins at 8:15 AM and try to make every effort to be to school on time. It is very difficult for both students and teachers
to re-direct a student that walks in late to class.
I would also like to thank everyone for making a conscious effort to keep
classroom interruptions to a minimum. We have already started to notice that
when things are being dropped off in the office, the students are expecting them.
Please continue to remind your students to check in the office if they forgot an
item at home. We do not call classrooms. We will leave a note in the teacher’s
mailbox, but ultimately it is the student’s responsibility.
I am looking forward to another fantastic year. Be sure to let me know if
you have any questions.

in their student’s lunch number, select the items
they want to purchase, pay with their credit
card on the secure site and print their receipt.
The PFA Webstore ensures that your money
arrives safely and efficiently to the school’s
bank account, taking away the need for manual
deposits. You can visit the webstore by visiting
Condit’s website at www.conditcondors.com

of the page.
The Condit Caller
is coming!
The Condit PFA will publish its annual
school directory, The Condit Caller, again
this fall. Condit families are encouraged to
advertise your businesses to our school
community. Advertising in the Condit Caller is a great way to let other Condit families
know about your local business or professional service you provide. All families that
join PFA receive a copy of the Condit Caller. Ad revenues support our PFA which
funds critical educational and enrichment
programs, playground equipment, our
school library, technology upgrades and
more. Ads start at $30, are available in
black/white or color, and enjoy long “shelf
life” because parents refer to the invaluable
Caller throughout the school year and beyond. The deadline to submit payment, ad
copy (jpg preferred), and sign up form is
Wednesday, September 17, For more information, please contact Condit Caller Ad
Chair Nicole Ouellette at 909-447-0747 or
