Lights, Learning, Wonder!

Welcome Back, Parents and Students!

We are so excited to welcome you to a brand new school year! Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, we’re thrilled to have you as part of our school family!

This year, we’re especially excited to introduce our new school-wide theme: Lights, Learning, Wonder. This theme will guide our experiences throughout the year as we celebrate curiosity, growth, and the joy of discovery — both in and out of the classroom.

In addition, we’re beginning construction on some long-awaited campus improvements! While there may be a few temporary adjustments, we appreciate your patience and support as we work to create even better spaces for our students to learn and thrive.

Here’s to a wonderful year ahead — filled with light, learning, and a sense of wonder!

A quick reminder for students to bring their page back showing that they read for 24 hours this summer to enjoy a popsicle party with Hazel!

Our office is open from 7:20 am to 4:00 pm. We open the doors to our building at 7:20 am and school starts right at 7:45 am. Dismissal is at 3:10 pm every day except Wednesday when we have early dismissal at 1:50 pm.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Car Riders:

• If you have students in grades Kindergarten through 2nd grade, your students will need to be dropped off and picked up in the front of the building.

• If you have students in grades 3rd-5th your students will need to be dropped off and picked up on the east side of the building.

• If you have children in K-2 and 3-5, they will use the front car rider line.

• For the safety of all students, please have their car tag hanging on the rear view mirror.

• Teachers and support staff will be available to help students find their way to their classroom the first few days of school.

Walkers:

• In preparation for the construction of our new building, our walkers will be learning a new arrival and dismissal procedure. Stay tuned as we develop this new procedure.

We appreciate your patience as we work through all of these items on the first days of school. Our students' safety is our number one priority. We cannot do it without your help!

PHONE CALLS: We also send out phone calls through an automated system; you will receive these calls if your phone number is correct in Registration Gateway. If your number changes, you can update the information in Registration Gateway, or call the office to update.

SOCIAL MEDIA/WEBSITE: The weekly parent update and other announcements/stories are also posted on our school's Facebook page and website. We are working on activating our school's Instagram account also- we'll let you know when that's up and running.

PAPER NOTES: We also send out paper notes at times; most of these will be sent in folders that come home every Tuesday. Every now and then, we need to send information on other days, so it's a great practice to check the backpacks each afternoon/evening.

We don't want you to miss any information, so we put things out in lots of ways!
