PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

I wanted to say thank you to the 4th Grade. They did a great job participating in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The feedback from the NAEP testers was glowing. They said our kids did a great job and were super polite. Thanks to the teachers, as it is not easy to modify schedules to make this happen.


For those of you who do drop off and/or pick up, you have noticed an increase in the line. The number of students being dropped off or picked up has increased. Thank you for your patience as I know the line can be frustrating. Please continue to be mindful of buses coming and going.


We have seen an increase in the number of students with smart watches. Please help us by reminding your child that smart watches and cell phones must be off and in their backpacks during the school day.
