Today, our school community sported our gold in celebration of the MIP Foundation's "Go Gold" for Childhood Cancer Awareness.

In honor of Constitution Day, our 4th Grade students and teachers held their annual Constitution Day March on Thursday, September 17th.

For families dropping off and picking up students in the carline, please remember that cars must enter from Paper Mill Road and come down Springfield Way and turn left into our upper parking lot. This will help to prevent congestion at the entrance of the upper parking lot. We appreciate everyone's efforts to help us keep carline running smoothly.

Elementary Smartwatch & Cell Phone Use: Ensuring smartwatch and cell phone use at the Elementary Level is only occurring outside of the instructional day. Students are not to wear or use these devices in school. We will expect them (if brought to school) to remain in their personal backpacks until after school hours.

As we begin the school year, our staff is continuing to teach, practice, and reinforce shared expectations for a safe, respectful, and inclusive recess experience.

To support this work, football will not be available during recess for the month of September. This temporary pause will allow students and staff to focus on building strong routines, practicing positive sportsmanship, and ensuring that all students understand how to participate safely in recess activities.

We will revisit this decision at the end of September and communicate any updates with families. Thank you for your partnership as we work together to create a positive recess environment for all students.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Dine & Donate at Rita's - we hope everyone enjoyed their treats and had a fun time with the Prize Wheel! Thank you to Samantha Honeywell, our VP of Fundraising, for organizing this fun night out!
