REMINDER: This Friday is an independent learning at home day. Look out for an email this week containing instructions for your student’s Friday assignments. Teacher's will be unreachable during the day on Friday, as they take part in training sessions.
Join your child(ren) for lunch
Beginning on Monday, March 13, both campuses will return to our pre-COVID policy regarding visitors eating lunch with their child(ren). Please remember that all visitors must enter through the main doors at both campuses and wear a visitor’s tag the entire time they’re in the building. As the current Student and Family Handbook states, “In an effort to promote healthy eating, fast food should not be provided. All food must comply with the school’s nut-free policy.”
Lower Campus notes
A reminder that tomorrow at Lower Campus, Oak Tree Photography will be conducting their spring photo sessions, so please send your child to school in the appropriate outfit for photos, for those students who signed up.
Read Across America
Last week we celebrated “Read Across America”. The Lower Campus community dressed up as their favorite characters. The students and adults participated in a parade to share our love of reading.
Upper Campus notes
Black History Month door decorations
Last month, our teachers and students celebrated Black History Month by creating and exhibiting their creative and informative door displays. Click on the image to view some examples. Also look out for pictures from Read Across America in next week's newsletter and on social media.
Spring sports photos tomorrow
Spring sports photos will be taken on Thursday, March 9. If your student plays a middle school spring sport, please make sure they are at school on March 9 with their team sport uniform.
Art: 8th grade art students created some really thoughtful posters for Exceptional Children's Week. They are currently on display around the cafeteria and surrounding areas. Check out some examples below.
