Principal's Message
Monday will be the last day of testing for the 2024-25 school year! Students will take Math and Science End of Year MAP. We will make sure students get a long lunch and break in between. This worked really well in December. Please be sure your child remembers their laptop, it is fully charged, and they bring their charger.
Special Olympics was yesterday. It is one of my favorite days of the year! Our students go with our PALS and Partners, and have the best day. It is always fun to see past students who are now in high school. 💕💕
We all feel like we are counting down the days until summer. Please remind your child of our DMS expectations. Work isn't over, and grades are not done. We are working on another positive reward through PAWS, similar to victory days. We will also be instilling teacher issued lunch detentions. You will be notified if your child recieves more than two detentions. If you have questions, please let me know.
Have a great weekend!
