From the Nurse
Attention 5th Grade Parents
Fifth-grade students will need to have Tdap & meningitis immunizations going into 6th grade, if they have not already done so. Please start scheduling appointments now. If you have questions, please contact your child's doctor or the school nurse.
Important Student Pick-up Reminder
NO LINE UP UNTIL 3:00 PM
Transportation Changes
If there is a change in your child's pick up or bus transporation. Please contact the front office. DO NOT leave a message on a teacher's voicemail. The front office will get the message to the teacher and keeps a spreadsheet with the change in transportation information. This ensures that messages do not get lost if a teacher is absent or unable to check their messages before dismissal.

5th Grade: Chloey Davies
Chloey was chosen as Brave of the Week because she shows us every day what it means to be a Brave. She is a fabulous role model and always chooses to do what's right, even when no one is watching. She has grown a lot this year in 5th grade, not just in her school work, but she has also come out of her shell and let her personality shine this year! I am so proud of Chloey, and I will miss her next year when she goes off to middle school. Keep shining, Chloey, you will do amazing things!
