Attendance Matters

April marks the beginning of the final academic quarter of the school year, and it is the time when many important concepts are taught and reviewed. Students who attend school regularly during April have a better chance of keeping up with the pace of learning and achieving their academic goals. Additionally, there are standardized tests during this month, which are used to assess a student's knowledge and skills. By attending school regularly in April, your child is best prepared to excel on these tests, which can have a significant impact on their future academic opportunities. From spring concerts and plays to sports games, April is a month full of exciting and engaging opportunities for students to explore and develop their interests. By attending school regularly in April, children can take advantage of these events and build their skills, confidence, and social connections. Furthermore, we offer resources and support for students who may be struggling with their coursework or facing other challenges. By attending school regularly this spring, parents can ensure that their child has access to these resources and can receive the help they need to succeed.


Attendance is still very important this time of year. It's important to note that attendance is not just about being physically present in the classroom. It's about being engaged, participating, and actively learning. Encouraging your child to ask questions, engage in class discussions, and work collaboratively with their peers can help them make the most of their time in school. Regular school attendance is a key factor in your child's success both in school and in life. Let's work together to make sure they have the best possible foundation for their future.

7th Grade Year End Trip - Date Change

Please update your calendars and make sure you have this date marked clearly as a change. More information will be coming home soon regarding all our year end trips!!

Have an great pictures that would be great for this year's yearbook. Please see the info below:

6th Grade Makes Hotdog Mummies

Students in 6th grade social studies recently mummified hotdogs, apples and potatoes as part of their unit on Ancient Egypt. They measured the length and circumference and weighed each item before burying them in baking soda and salt. After 14 days, they opened the containers and observed that each item had gotten smaller and weighed less. It was exciting to see that their initial predictions were correct!
