There are smiles under the masks? Why? Because our indoor recess games have arrived!! Thank you to those of you who generously contributed games and activities to our students. Each classroom received several items for students to use during indoor recess. THANK YOU!!

Parent involvement and awareness of what's happening at their child's school increases student success. In an attempt to ensure all parents/guardians are receiving school communications we are asking for you to complete this short three-question survey to help us learn who is not hearing from us so outreach efforts can be made.

Thank you to those who have already completed the parent survey. If you have not had a chance to do so it will remain open until Friday.
