Your child should have received their complementary school t-shirt this week. This shirt will be required to be worn on field trips. If the size is not what you need, you can bring back unworn shirts next week and we will try to exchange them for a better size. After Tuesday if you would like to purchase extra shirts for you or your child that will be available at the office for $20 while supplies last.

Every family should consider their options to participate. The student/parent application portal window will open on February 4, 2026 to March 17, 2026. We have handouts if you missed the meeting last Tuesday and would like to have more information. We also plan to offer a virtual informational over Teams on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 6:30 pm.

Students will complete their mid-year MAP testing next week. This assessment helps us monitor each student’s learning progress and guide instruction. Please encourage your child to take their time and do their best. You can support your child by ensuring they get eight or more hours of sleep each night, eat healthy meals, exercise, and receive words of encouragement. You may also wish to talk with your child’s teacher about providing a class test-day snack—many classroom teachers appreciate parent support with testing snacks.

Lunch order is to be placed with the homeroom teacher each day.
