School News and Information
Happy Friday! It was awesome to see so many people here for our annual Halloween parade! Thanks for your patience as we released lots of students early Tuesday!
We want to remind you that Tuesday November 7th is a Data Day for staff, no school for students!
As the weather starts to get cooler, please send in a sweatshirt or coat with your child. Some grades have a recess in the morning when it is pretty chilly out still. Please label coats with your child’s name. We have seen an increase in items in our Lost and Found. If your child is missing something, please come check out the Lost and Found.
Daily Start Time
We believe that excellent attendance is vital to a successful school experience and that students learn best when they are in school, on time, and participating in the day to day activities that compromise their entire school day. We open the doors at 7:40 for students to enter the building and our day begins at 8:00. We realize at times there can be lots of traffic. Please plan for this and have your child in the building before the 8:00 a.m. bell. Students who arrive after 8:00 will be marked as tardy. Thank you for your help in ensuring a great start to the school day!
World Languge Program 2023-2024
