We are so incredibly grateful that our new generator is running and keeping us warm, and IN SCHOOL. I hope your family has endured these few days without power with minimal hardship, and that if you are still without power, it will be restored soon.

It's hard to believe that our winter break is approaching! As we move into this joyful season, I want to extend to you my warmest thanks for being such incredible partners in your child’s educational journey. Your active involvement and support for us, from your participation in the fundraiser for the snowshoes, your attendance at the concert, and your help at the student holiday store is remarkable. It's no wonder we have such amazing students! On behalf of all the staff, we wish you the warmest and happiest holiday season.

There's NO SCHOOL tomorrow through January 1st. We hope you have a wonderful holiday vacation with family and friends, and we look forward to seeing you next year!

We will have our first Trimester Awards Assembly (date changed to) Thursday, January 4th, at 2:30PM. If you plan to pick up your student directly after the assembly, please email or send a note to the office. Thank you.

Thanks to our wonderful parent volunteers, Mr. Anderson,

Mrs. Benfield, Mrs. DeBery, and Mrs. Wells, we will resume our FREE K-5 Great Starts on Wednesdays from 8:15AM-9:20AM, starting January 3rd. We continue to offer outside play, arts and crafts, and board games and puzzles.

Our winter registration link is live!
