From the Principal's Desk From the Principal's Desk

Bauer Parents:


Now that we’re fully underway, teachers are gathering diverse information about your child/children through various assessments and daily observations. Our goal is to communicate with you in a timely manner so that if we’re noticing anything which needs to be addressed you are informed. At times, problem solving may require a team approach. As we engage with you, please remember the following conversation norms in the picture below. They are the bedrock to maintaining solid working relationships as we navigate through this school year together.


Best,


Josh Meersma

Art Awesomeness Art Awesomeness

Make your mark and see where it takes you! Our students began the school year talking about creativity and self expression in art class! Each grade level read the book, The Dot by author and illustrator Peter H. Reynolds. Then, each student was given a small circle to create a piece of art of their choosing. We finished our lesson by celebrating our school community with a group mural of all our dots!
