A Message from the Principal's Office A Message from the Principal's Office

June 12, 2026

Dear Families,


WOW! How amazing are all of our students? The all-school musical was such a success, and we couldn't have done it without every single one of you!


As we wrap up the school year, please keep these important final reminders in mind:

  • Final Days: There are only 4 days of school left. Please note that we will have an early dismissal on Thursday, June 18, at 11:30 AM.

  • Moose Lodge Afterschool: Today is the last day of the Moose Lodge afterschool program for this school year. If your student attends, please ensure you have sent a yellow note regarding their dismissal plans for next week if you haven't done so already.

  • Lunch Requests: We are no longer accepting lunch requests for the last day of school.

Looking Ahead to 2026-2027


We hope everyone has a lovely, fun, and restful summer! Please mark your calendars for the start of the next school year:

  • K-6 Students: First day is August 26.

  • Preschool Students: First day is August 31.

PowerSchool Updates


We are moving away from paper forms and will now be using PowerSchool for important updates. All students should have brought home information for caregivers with instructions on setting up your account.


You can access the PowerSchool Portal and select the "Create Account" option. Please use the Student Access ID & Password found in the letter you received. If you have any questions, please reach out to Laura & Martina in the office, as they have spent many hours working to get this system up and running for us.


Thank you for a wonderful year!


Principal Anne

Our attendance team has been tracking attendance percentages per grade each month this year.  Did your class make the top 3?  Remember that having good attendance helps improve academics, and build strong relationships and healthy habits!
