Calling all Creative Students!
From the Principal
Dear Families,
Our school will be participating in an evacuation drill tomorrow. The drill is an important part of our safety procedures to ensure that students and staff are prepared in the event of an emergency. Please remind your child that this is only a practice.
In addition, we will be continuing state testing and make-up testing throughout the day. We encourage students to get a good night’s rest, arrive on time, and come prepared to do their best.

From the Counselor
Greetings from the Counselor’s office. We are finishing up with our testing this week and working on makeups for those students who are not finished or happened to miss a test. The good news is that Counselor Time and Otter Talks will resume next week. I will be in the classrooms for the next two weeks discussing how important it is to Think of Otters. More on this next week.
