Where Learning Comes First
Principal's Post
Happy Friday! We had such a fun time welcoming all of our parents, grandparents, and other special guests at lunch on Thursday and Friday this week! I hope everyone had fun shopping in the Book Fair as well. Next Wednesday, our dads have a fun opportunity to join us before school. Be sure to check out All Pro Dads and sign up by Sunday if you are able to make it. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Picture Day - September 17th
Picture Day is right around the corner. Purchase options will be sent home soon via flyer and Parent Square. All students will be photographed for the yearbook regardless of purchase.
Digital Learning Day
Friday, September 18, is a Digital Learning Day (DLD) for all students.
On scheduled Digital Learning Days, students access lessons in Google Classroom through the Student Launchpad but will not have virtual class time with their teachers.
To ensure that students have a nutritious meal to fuel their learning, our bus drivers will be on the road and at every bus stop to deliver meals prepared by the School Nutrition Program staff. Families should expect buses to run their routes from approximately 10:45 a.m. to noon, beginning at the first stops on the route. These delivered meals are provided at no cost to families and are provided to anyone 18 years old and under.
Digital Learning Day - Guide for Families: https://www.smore.com/70u5c
Students will find all their lessons and assignments on their teacher's Google Classroom.
Learning will be asynchronous, meaning students will not have live virtual sessions.
Questions? Please contact your child's teacher through ParentSquare.
