Principal Message:

Dear Families,


During our upcoming December 25th through January 2nd winter break from school, we are grateful to everyone for helping to restore a routine for showing up to school while supporting students and families. Our attendance rates are improved from last year and it is showing up in our student learning data! We still have work to do as we are hovering around a 96% daily attendance rate and our goal is to be at 98%.


We appreciate everyone’s efforts to avoid taking extra time off during the winter break. As long as your child is healthy, please encourage showing up to class when school is in session.


Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn as well as to connect to their peers and teachers.


We thank:


  • Our students and their families who do their best to show up daily even when it isn’t easy.
  • Our teachers who go above and beyond to make school a welcoming and safe place for all students to learn.
  • Our student support team who help us work together to ensure we create a physically and emotionally safe and engaging learning environment.
  • Our many, many healers and helpers - the support staff and community volunteers who provide the extra hands and attention our children need.


We appreciate each one of you. May these days off be restful and healing.


If your family or your child needs support, please reach out to Angela Parker or Megan Schultz for help.


We look forward to seeing you for the next 10 days and again when school resumes on January 3, 2024.


Thank you for partnering with us!


Sincerely,

Mollie Meyer

School Principal

Early Release Day: Wednesday, December 13th Early Release Day: Wednesday, December 13th

Please be reminded Wednesday, December 13th is a two hour early release, students will be dismissed from school at 12:30 pm. If your dismissal plans are different from a normal school day you MUST tell your students' homeroom teacher.


If you need your student to stay until 2:30 pm you must register your child for supervision. We ask that you continue to register each month for early release supervision as many families' plans change. If your student attends ACES or YMCA you still need to register for child supervision each time.


Parents/Guardians that pick up students please park in the parking lot and go to door number 1 at 2:30 pm. A staff member will meet you at the door. We ask that you please refrain from picking up between 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm as our staff wishes to focus their time on engaging in meaningful activities with students. We understand that circumstances may change, but appreciate your help with this request.


If you need child care for your student between 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm on Wednesday, December 13th, please fill out the form linked below. (If you would like to send a snack for after school please feel free to do so as lunch is served early.)
