Students will be dismissed at 1:40 p.m. tomorrow, as we wrap up our final day of the school year. It has been a wonderful year filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences, and we are incredibly proud of all that our students have accomplished. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our families for their continued partnership, support, and involvement—it truly makes a difference in creating a positive and successful school community. From classroom activities and special events to academic progress and personal growth, this year has been a meaningful journey for everyone involved. As we head into summer, we encourage families to enjoy time together, explore new adventures, and relax. We wish you a fun, safe, and refreshing summer break, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall!

Tomorrow, we will celebrate our 5th grade students with a special Clap Out event at dismissal. Our 5th graders will take one final walk through the halls as students and staff cheer them on and send them off in style. We invite parents and family members to join the celebration by lining up outside the front of the building, extending toward the bus lot. Let’s give our graduating Jaguars the memorable send-off they deserve—we’re going to miss them! Students will exit the front of the building around 1:35 pm.

The End of Year Report Cards will be updated in the ALMA platform tomorrow after 3:30 pm.

We have put together a Summer Learning Challenge for interested students who would like to continue their learning over the summer. Click here to view the different Summer Learning Challenge options.

Students in 1st through 5th grade are encouraged to continue practicing their math facts over the summer. To support this, we’ve compiled a list of online platforms and games (located in the classroom teacher google classroom). Please note that some links may only work if your child’s teacher used the program during the school year. Don’t worry—there are plenty of other options! In addition to online resources, we also recommend using flash cards or practicing math facts out loud together. Click here to access the Math Fact Fluency page.
