January 2026 News

Welcome back, families! We hope you had a wonderful holiday break filled with relaxation and quality time together. As the semester comes to an end this week, this is a time to celebrate all the hard work and growth your students have achieved. They will be setting goals in iReady and testing in the month of January. Our K- 2nd grade students are moving along in GRIT (guided reading infusion team). Let’s finish strong and look forward to exciting opportunities in the new year. Thank you for your continued support in helping your students succeed!

Warm regards,

Stephanie Morang

Principal

1. Lunch from home: The students don't have access to a microwave. Any food that needs to be warmed up should be warmed at home and placed into a thermos to stay heated throughout the day.

2. Birthday Treats: We don't mind celebrating with a treat to go around but those treats should be individually wrapped. We are an allergy smart school. This is for the health and safety for our students.

3. Medication: If your child needs any form of medication throughout the day, you need to fill out the required paperwork. Students can not have cough drops, inhalers etc in their possession this includes in their book bag. Please contact the front office if you have any questions.

4. Early Release: The office is closed for early release everyday from 2:45-3:15pm. The office is busy during that time getting our students and staff ready for dismissal. Thank you for understanding.

5. Parking lot: While pulling into our school isn't always the easiest, keeping Crescentwood Ave. free of parked cars will help with the flow of traffic. The circle lot at arrival and dismissal is for buses ONLY. We need to keep our kids safe and pulling up and releasing them at the front doors causes unsafe situation. Please make sure to continue using the parking lot at arrival and dismissal times. If you park on Beechwood and walk over, the homeowners just ask that you don't park across the driveways.

6. Attendance: Regular attendance is key to your child’s success. Please make sure your child is on time and ready for learning each day. as a reminder tardies and early release can lead to truancy. If your child will be absent, please call the school office to report the absence.

7. Meeting: If you need to set up time with a teacher it is best to arrange it with the teacher themselves through DoJo or email. Once the school day begins our teachers are hard at work with their students.

Main office is open from 8am-4pm daily.
