We need your help to update our Givebacks directory! Givebacks requires families to select their own class list subscriptions now, please take the time to do this so you are receiving info from your room parents etc!

Use the guide below to help you set up your families info!

The yearbook needs your photos! We’d love to see any that you have from the first day of school. Please email photos to wvpythonyearbook@gmail.com.

The photos must meet these criteria:

* Photos of school events only

* No photos of birthday parties or other private events

Please continue checking your child daily for head lice. Lice like to live close to the scalp, especially around the ears and the back of the neck. Sometimes nits (lice eggs) can look like dandruff, but unlike dandruff, they are firmly attached to the hair shaft.

If you have any questions or concerns, email or call Nurse Juju to check your child at school!

THANK YOU to everyone who donated to Commanche Elementary Kindness Cart! The teachers and staff were very appreciative! Be on the look out for more ways to support our sister school!

A BIG Thank You to all the volunteers who helped with book fair and Lunch on the Lawn! Our students and families enjoyed the events!
