We are selling some of our books to make room for new ones in our library! Books will be on sale in the mornings at the Intermediate Library from 7:30 am - 7:50 am September 11th - September 14th. All books are being sold for $1 each! All proceeds will go directly towards our library program for new books, reading incentives, and supplies.

This school year is off to a great start! Throughout the first week of school, I was able to do minute meetings with the students. These consisted of having a short meeting with every student in our building. It was a great way for me to check in with all our students and either reconnect with previous students or begin to form relationships with those that are new to this building. I plan on doing these minute meetings and touching base with every student again about halfway through the year. I was also able to see each student during Counseling class these first two weeks of school. Each month, we will focus on a particular topic in Counseling and will discuss different aspects of this topic during our weekly classes. For the month of August, the topic we focused on was goal setting and the students had the opportunity to come up with their own goal (academic or personal) for this school year. Make sure to check our building newsletter throughout the year for updates on what we are doing in Counseling class each month. It is going to be a great year!

All parents (grades K-5) are welcome to join Home & School! This is our version of a PTA and provides an opportunity for parents to become involved with the school by taking leadership in planning yearly teacher appreciation incentives, extra-curricular events, and support for students and teachers. More information will be shared in weekly online newsletters if you’re interested in joining! Meetings are held monthly.
