Marvelous Mini-Cat Award!! Parents You Help Determine, Which teacher wins the award every two weeks!
Is there a teacher or staff member you want to recognize for their hard work and being INTENTIONALLY ALL IN? Then please just fill out this short nomination form. We will select a new winner every two weeks and post the lucky winner receiving their award. Thanks for parents being INTENTIONALLY ALLIN!
Attendance Matters!!!
It is important to arrive at school, on time, every day. Every minute of the student’s day is dedicated to make sure we are making the most of each learning opportunity. Strive towards scheduling a bedtime for your scholar. Set an alarm to arise in the mornings, if you noticed getting out of the house is a challenge. School is important! If you had challenges with arrival and dismissal, our Family Support Specialist will be in contact with you soon. Please also be mindful of appointment days. It is best to still send you child to school if you have an early morning appointment or schedule the appointment late so your child can still be present most of the day.
Don't forget to send in those notes, for your child's absences!!!
Minnie Hughes Takes Bullying Seriously!
If is missing please reach out, so you can follow along and see when your child earns points!
You never know who is going to be in the front office! We want to be safe!
