A note from Ms. Ballard
As the first nine weeks comes to an end, I want to remind families of the fun activities we have planned. This nine weeks the reward for good choices is a glow in the dark party. Students that have received less than nine red owls, will participate in this activity. Encourage your child to try their best each day to participate in these end of the year events.
Monday, October 14 is a professional development day for staff and a day off for students. Tuesday, October 15 will be a two-hour delay for students. I hope everyone had a great weekend and we will see students Tuesday morning at 10:20am. Happy Sunday!
Title I Tip
Learning to read takes practice. Loving to read takes enthusiasm. Read with your child often and create a sense of enjoyment, wonder, and a passion for reading
Attendance Matters
Check your child's planner and folder each night to check the attendance tracker.
Please aim to send your child to school each day. If your child is not sick, please send them to school.

After School Program
Walkers
We understand that older siblings may need to walk our kiddos home. Please be sure your child's teacher is aware of this arrangement. We have a new form to be completed by parents/guardians of students that are walked home by siblings that are under 18 years of age. Once the teacher is made aware, we will send home the form.
