News for You:
- Picture Day update: Unfortunately, we have not received our picture forms yet, and we may be rescheduling our picture day. We hope to have an announcement soon! Thank you for understanding.
- Parents in the building: For safety reasons, the school is encouraging parents and guardians not to enter the building during school hours (including drop-off time). This is to ensure the security of the students and staff, as well as to maintain a focused learning environment. Parents are welcome to drop off and pick up their children outside the school and can contact the school office if they need to speak with a teacher or administrator. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping our school a safe and productive place for everyone.
- End of Day: Please avoid making phone calls after 2:30 p.m. to the elementary office. This is a hectic time of the day, and it's challenging to deliver messages before the end of the day. This excludes any emergencies.
- Strive For Five: See the information below from our truancy liaison officer about having less than 5 days absent!
- Drill Week: September 11-15 will be our drill week. During the week, we will practice our fire, severe weather, and lockdown drills.
- School Forms: Please continue to turn in any school forms so we can have all of your child's information up to date. Thank you!
- Car Pool Lane: Make sure to pull forward as far as you can to help reduce the congestion in the car pool lane. Also, parents ARE NOT allowed to exit the vehicle in the car pool lane. Thank you for understanding!
- Summer Reading/Math Program: If you haven't done so, you can still hand in your summer program calendars! Remember, if your child turns in their calendar, they are eligible for a prize. The grand prize winner will receive an iPad!! *Not all students were invited to participate in the program*
- Child Safety Expo: See the information below!
