As it is Valentine's Day, I want to wish you and your loved ones a day filled with love and warmth. Please note that there will be no school on Monday, February 17th, in observance of Presidents' Day.
I also want to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support, especially on our virtual learning days. Your partnership, combined with the dedication of our teachers and the hard work of our students, is truly making a difference. As we analyze student data, we're seeing real improvements in student performance, and this information helps us identify both areas of strength and areas where we can focus our future instruction. We deeply appreciate your collaboration in ensuring the continued success of our students.
Have a great three day weekend!
Washington’s Birthday was the first federal holiday to honor an individual's birth date. In 1885, Congress designated February 22 as a holiday for all federal workers. Nearly a century later, in 1971, the Uniform Monday Holiday Law changed the date to the third Monday in February. The position of the holiday between the birthdays of Washington and Abraham Lincoln gave rise to the popular name of Presidents Day.
The second-grade guidance classes read "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" This book is about finding and learning about the things that make kids feel special. It helps kids "fill their buckets." Positive feelings about themselves help children be kind to others and "fill" someone else's bucket. Positive feelings about themselves also help students be more productive learners and develop more positive friendships and coping skills.
Drop off: If you are dropping a student off at school in the morning, students should be dropped off at the gym doors. There are adults and cones present for student safety. If you are parked on the north side of the building, students should be walked with an adult to the sidewalk to ensure they get to the gym doors safely. Students should NOT be walking from the staff parking lot across to the school. That is not a staff supervised drop off area.
Pick up: Cars should not be parked in the lanes until 3:00 pm. If you arrive early, you will need to park in a parking space. There are people who have attended meetings or are picking up a sick child who need to leave before the end of the school day. Please be considerate of this as cars may be asked to move to allow cars to pass.
Please be careful driving and have patience during drop off and pick up. Student safety is our priority!

Zeke is the definition of what it means to be Brave. He is always the first one to ask if I need help with anything and complete tasks around our classroom. Zeke is never afraid to raise his hand, even if he doesn't know the answer to the question. He gives 110% on his work every day. Zeke has made great progress this year, and I am so excited to continue to watch him grow! Zeke- I am so grateful that you are in our class.
