From Mrs Tennenbaum
We made it to spring break! I hope that everyone has a good week off. We will come back to just two months of school and a lot on our plates with testing, academic diagnostics, completing our ELA and Math modules as well as many fun things planned. I hope that we can all stay on track to to ensure that finish strong with a lot of growth and achievement.
We don't do Average, we do Awesome!
We are all in this together!

Get Involved – Join Our Middle School PTO Board!
As your child prepares for the exciting transition to middle school, we invite you to get involved and help shape a positive and engaging school community! Our Middle School PTO is currently seeking enthusiastic, collaborative parents to join our Board for the upcoming school year.
Serving on the PTO Board is a meaningful way to stay connected, support students and staff, and have a voice in planning events, programs, and initiatives that enhance the middle school experience. Whether you have a little time or a lot, your ideas, talents, and perspective are truly valued.
Board positions will be filled in May, and we welcome parents of incoming students to consider stepping into a role. No prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to contribute and be part of a supportive team!

Friendly reminders
As we enter the last two months of school, I would like to send a few reminders to ensure that we are ending on a positive note.
*Please use Pikmykid to make any dismissal changes - please do not just email the teacher or tell your student.
*If your student is a walker, we ask that parents wait either by the kindergarten playground or at the crosswalks.
*Please do not park your cars along the side streets and have your child be a "walker". We have a parent pick up line that does move pretty quickly.
*The parent drop off line closes as soon as all the cars have left. If you arrive after 9:15, you must park and walk your student in to be signed in. Please do not pull up in the bus driveway.
Thank you so much for your attention to these important procedures. We appreciate your partnership.
