Notes from Mrs. Stone
Progress reports will be coming home today. Please review and let your child's teacher know if you have any questions or concerns.
We appreciate your partnership and teamwork regarding our high expectations for our students.
We are in session on Monday and Tuesday next week. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and loved ones.
I know I am incredibly thankful for our wonderful elementary school — a place where curious hearts are welcomed, kind hands help one another grow, and every small success lights the way to a brighter tomorrow.
Please call the office if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a great weekend.
♥️ Mrs. Stone
