Sunday Announcement!

Hello Navigators!


Welcome back! Please check out my Welcome Back Video and subscribe to our YouTube.


We are so excited that school will begin this week. We have amazing things planned and cannot wait to open the gates for our students!


Teacher assignments should be available mid-day on Tuesday August 16th. Also on August 16th we invite our TK and Kindergarten students to campus at 2:00 PM to meet your teacher and see the classrooms! We will have adults to greet you and help you find your child's teacher and class.


School this year begins on Wednesday, August 17th. You may walk your student(s) to the playground and their line-up area for the first 3 days of school. When the bell rings I will ask that all parents/guardians leave so we can begin our school day. On August 22nd we will close the campus as usual and students will need to be dropped off at the gate.


The gates will open at 7:45 each day. Kinder and TK students can enter through the gate near the Kindergarten building unless they will eat breakfast at school. All other students will enter school through the gate to the left of the office. The back gate will also be open.


Breakfast will be served from 7:45 until 8:10 each day.


The first 3 days of school will be minimum days and school will begin at 8:15 AM and dismissal will be at 12:25 for all students.


Beginning August 22nd the schedule will be as follows:


Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri

8:15 - 2:10 - Kindergarten

8:15 - 2:55 - Grades 1-5

Wednesday

8:15 - 12:25 - All Grades


TK students will have short days for the first 3 weeks of school. School will begin at 8:15 AM and dismissal is at 12:25 for the first 3 weeks. Beginning September 8th they will follow the Kindergarten schedule noted above.


Our office remains open for registration from 9:30 - 3 PM.


You can complete the data confirmation through the Aeires Parent Portal. See this page for directions. For new students see the directions here.


Please, be patient during arrival and dismissal with our traffic. We have solid procedures in place to be efficient while maintaining safety for everyone.


We are looking for volunteers to help serve on our PTO board and we are looking to a crossing guard and playground supervisor(s). If you are interested in getting more involved please reply to this email!


Finally, please note that dogs are not allowed on campus at any time. This includes at our arrival and dismissal times as well as after school on our playground and field. Of course service dogs are an exception.


Feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you and have a great night.
