A Note of Gratitude as We Enter November
As the leaves turn and the season slows down, we find ourselves reflecting on what makes our community so special. We are deeply grateful for the warmth, kindness, and everyday support you bring to our school. Every shared smile at drop-off, every volunteer hour, and every moment of encouragement helps build a community where our students can truly thrive. Thank you for being such an vital part of our family.
Upcoming Reminder:
Please note that there will be No School on Wednesday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day. We hope you and your family enjoy the midweek break to rest, recharge, and spend meaningful time together.
Warm regards,
Shannon

Each tab on the bottom of the webpage represents what each grade will be learning at all four of our elementary schools. There are also examples provided by our content directors about how you can support your child's learning at home with simple, everyday objects or actions.
