School News and Information

Happy Friday! We hope this message finds you well and that you've had a fantastic week. It's been a bustling time in our classroom, filled with exciting activities and noteworthy progress.

 

Our MAP testing has kicked off, and we're thrilled with the engagement and effort from our students. Alongside this, our teachers have been delivering some truly incredible lessons, sparking curiosity and fostering a love for learning among our students. It has been fun to get in and out of the classrooms to see all of the fun!

 

As we approach the holiday season, we're excited to announce some upcoming festivities! Starting Friday, December 15, we'll be celebrating with themed days:

 

December 15th: Miami Day - Show your support for Miami vs. Appalachian State in their bowl game by wearing your favorite Miami gear.

December 18th: Holiday Headwear - Get creative and showcase your festive headwear!

December 19th: Holiday Sweatshirt/Shirt/Outfit - Dress in your most cheerful holiday attire.

December 20th: Holiday Pajamas - Get cozy and festive in your favorite holiday pajamas.

 

For those dropping students off in the mornings,  please  filter in to the upper parking lot so we can get as many cars as possible off of 27. Thank you for your cooperation! 

 

We understand and appreciate the enthusiasm surrounding the holiday season and the joy that traditions like Elf on a Shelf can bring. It is important to adhere to school rules and policies, and one rule is not bringing toys to school. Please help us by keeping Elves at home. 

School Hours

Thank you to everyone who adjusted to the new school hours.  Just one more reminder on times.

Thank you to everyone for adjusting throughout the year to the vehicle line drop-off and pick-up procedures.  As the weather turns cooler and vehicle windows are not down, please make sure that your child’s name is displayed so we can call out their name.  It helps us get students in the correct spot while waiting in line.  If you need a new card for your car, please let us know.
