It's great to have everyone back after break! April is here and our last marking period started. Time is moving fast! There are field trips, state testing, and end of year benchmarks and assessments. They still have some unfinished learning. Please encourage them to continue their great Braves behavior!

If there is a change in your child's pick up or bus transporation. Please contact the front office. DO NOT leave a message on a teacher's voicemail.
