IMPORTANT: STUDENT ALLERGIES & FOOD SHARING
Just a friendly reminder to please talk with your students about the importance of not sharing food with one another, both during snack time and at lunch.
We have had some concerning situations involving food allergies, and even small amounts of hidden allergens—such as peanuts, dairy, or other ingredients—can cause serious, potentially life-threatening reactions for some of our students. We appreciate your help in reminding students that keeping their food to themselves is an important way we can all help keep our school community safe.
This also means we must request parents do not bring food treats for birthday celebrations to share with classes.
Thank you so much for your support and for helping us create a safe and caring environment for all of our students!

WALK & ROLL TO SCHOOL DAY - OCTOBER 7th
Mark your calendars! On Wednesday, October 7th, our District is encouraging all of our schools to participate in Walk & Roll to School Day! We want as much participation as possible!
This nationwide event is a fantastic way to encourage healthy habits, teach bike safety, build community, and help ease that morning car-line busyness. Did you know that school drop-off traffic accounts for up to 14% of all morning commute cars? Fewer cars in our parking lots means safer school zones and cleaner air right outside our front doors.
Beyond traffic, physical activity before the bell helps our students burn off morning jitters, improves focus, and sets them up to walk into classrooms ready to learn. It’s also the perfect opportunity to model and reinforce lifelong safety skills—like proper helmet fit, staying on sidewalks, and using crosswalks carefully. Teaching these habits ensures our students stay safe on their commute all year long.
Road to the Rockies Reading Program
Get ready to fuel up and hit the Road to the Rockies reading challenge! 🏔️📚
Whether your reader devours a chapter a day or crushes an entire series over the weekend, every single minute counts toward epic classroom bragging rights and awesome monthly loot. Plus, sticking with us on the trail puts them in the running for the end-of-year Grand Prize! 🎁
