PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
May 15
Wow! We are at the end of the year and the last newsletter for the year. I want to thank you for all of the support and kindness you’ve shown to our staff throughout the year. As we gear up for summer, here are some important things to keep in mind.
1st-6th Grade Class Lists
Class lists will be posted on the southside doors from May 26th-29th beginning at 10a. Our teachers and staff have had many conversations and feel these lists will set students up for success in the next grade level.
Kindergarten Teachers
I will personally deliver a book and a teacher introduction sheet to your house during the last week of July. I usually try and send out an email the day before I start those rounds to give you a heads up to look for it.
We will be implementing the linked guidelines for technology next year. It is our expectation that all of our staff adhere to these guidelines when not testing. Please take note of the Grade-Level Considerations and breaks for technology. iPads will no longer be used for reward time and indoor recess.
