Principal's Greeting
Dear Churchill Families,
It’s hard to believe that we are just over 70 school days away from summer break! As we approach the end of the school year, it’s important that we continue working together to ensure our students finish strong. Please remember to regularly check assignment notebooks and teacher emails to stay informed about upcoming lessons and events. Together, we can overcome any challenges that arise, and we are proud to be a part of your student's educational journey.
Please take a moment to review the upcoming events listed below, and remember that there will be no school on Monday in observance of Lincoln's Birthday.
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Peacock

Attendance Matters
We are excited to welcome our students to school each day! To maintain a healthy school environment, please keep your child at home if they are feeling unwell. Timely attendance is crucial—frequent tardiness or early departures disrupt the learning experience for all students. We encourage you to support your child's success by ensuring they have a consistent routine, eat nutritious meals, and get plenty of rest.
For any attendance-related matters, please be sure to communicate directly with your child’s teacher and the main office. Thank you for your cooperation in helping our students stay engaged and on track!
