One proud principal

As we complete the first week of state testing using the Forward Exam, I have to let you all know how proud I am of the students and staff. Nobody really likes to take tests, but the environment that was created truly allowed the students to give their best effort. And when they finished, they got to read! Our 5th and 7th graders are all done and our 6th and 8th graders will finish up next week.

Student Senate Carnival is tonight!

Thanks to the exceptional leadership of Mrs. Niemczyk and Miss Kohnert, our Student Senate, as well as student and staff volunteers, will be hosting a Carnival to raise funds for a new and improved Intermediate School playground. There will be inflatables, carnival games, and concessions, all for the enjoyment of our Primary School students and their families. We hope that you can join us for some fun and prizes.

Thanks for your help with our dress code!

I think the weather has really made a change for the better. With that comes warmer temperatures. Please remember to keep in mind our dress code as the days continue to get warmer. Here is a refresher on our dress code.

Shorts must be as long as your finger tips when your arms are at your sides
No tank tops or spaghetti straps
No undergarments showing

If you'd like to see the specifics of the dress code, please see page 4 of our Student Handbook which can be found in this link.

8th grade graduation

I know that it's hard to believe, but our 8th grade graduation isn't far away. Our 8th graders will be graduating on Thursday, June 9th. At this time, I'm looking for interested families to help out to prepare for the day.

8th grade families- Please email me if you are interested in being a part of the decorating committee. I'll be setting up a meeting date after I have a list of names.

7th grade families- Please email me if you are interested in being a part of the reception committee. I'll be setting up a meeting date after I have a list of names.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.
