MEET THE TEACHER BBQ
We are getting SO excited for the first day of school and look forward to seeing everyone again.
Please mark your calendar for our MEET THE TEACHER BBQ coming up on Thursday September 4 from 4-7pm. The BBQ is completely FREE.
Our incredible librarian Mrs. Hunter will be at the school if you're wanting to meet her and/or take a tour of our library. Mrs. Andriatz will be in the office to help with any questions or concerns regarding registration, Powerschool, etc. and all teachers will be set up in their respective classrooms awaiting your visit.
We look forward to seeing you.
PERSONAL MOBILE DEVICES AT SCHOOL
Please help us keep our classrooms focused. We kindly as that parents and guardians refrain from texting students during school hours. Messages exchanged during class can be a big distraction - not just for your child, but for their classmates as well.
If you need to get in touch with them, please call/email the school office and we will make sure your message gets to your child promptly.
Let's work together to support focused learning. We appreciate your cooperation.
