September Scoop: Kicking Off the School Year
School’s in full swing, and we’ve had a great start! The 5th grade Lunch Bunch was a hit, and we’re excited to bring it to all grades soon—stay tuned for more info. Don’t forget, Title One Grandparents Game Night is coming up on Monday, the 9th. Also, students are currently taking their beginning-of-the-year assessments, and we’ll go over those scores during Parent-Teacher Conferences. Looking forward to an awesome year!
Sincerely,
Sarah Combs
Elementary Principal

Lunch Reminder
Just a quick reminder: staff won’t be able to heat up food for the kids, and there’s no refrigerator available for storing lunches. To make things easy, please pack meals that are ready to eat and don’t need to be heated. Thanks for your understanding and helping us keep lunchtime smooth for everyone!
Remind Communication
Each teacher in the elementary will be utilizing Remind to keep in contact with parents. Please download the app and connect with your child's class to stay up to date!
Meal Account Payment Information
Parents if you are paying meal accounts or any other fees for students at both buildings please write separate checks/cash. Student deposits will be made to student accounts on Fridays, unless we are out of school. Then it will be done on the last day of attendance for the week. Please be understanding if this process is slightly delayed some weeks. The building secretaries work diligently to get deposits in, but sometimes this process gets delayed due to outside circumstances. Thank you for your understanding.
