Student attendance is essential for academic growth and social-emotional development. We value the time spent with family, however, we urge you to take vacations when school is not in session. If you are having difficulty getting your student to school, please reach out to me, the classroom teacher, or our school nurse. We are all here to support you and our students.

Parent announcements:

Parent council meeting next monthApril 12th at 6:00pm in our library

The parent council will be offering spring enrichment programs. Some programs will run before and after school. Stay tuned for more information.

Please dress the children warmly. The weather has finally become colder. We use a weather chart to direct how long the kids should stay outside for recess. Studies show that children need frequent breaks, fresh air and movement for their physical and mental wellness. We strive to have them go outside as much as possible (weather-dependant).
