A Note from Mrs. Cook
Welcome to the March edition of our newsletter!
As we delve into the new month, it's crucial to acknowledge the continuous dedication to our rigorous curriculum, ensuring that every student receives the highest quality education possible. Our commitment to academic excellence remains steadfast, driving us to empower our students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive.
As we anticipate the arrival of spring break, we encourage families to take this opportunity to rest, rejuvenate, and create lasting memories together. Whether you're embarking on a journey or enjoying a staycation, we wish you a safe and enjoyable break.
During this time, we encourage you to stay connected with us through our school's website and social media channels. It's the perfect way to stay informed about upcoming events, important announcements, and engaging activities happening within our school community.
Thank you for your unwavering support as we continue to strive for excellence together.

Volunteering?
- If volunteering in the classroom, arrive at the time the teacher is expecting you and leave the classroom when the activity concludes. Volunteers can be distracting to students if they linger in the classroom.
- Go directly to the place of volunteering, and then return to the office following the activity.
- Follow the teachers' requests. The teacher is focusing on academics and knows what is needed.
- If you are taking your child with you at the end of your volunteering session, sign our your child in the front office and your child will be sent from the classroom. Teachers cannot release a child to you even if you have been working in the classroom.
- If chaperoning a field trip, be sure to follow the online application process to become a Volunteer Level 2.
- Keep information you overhear/see confidential as you want others to do with information about your child.
