What's up Wednesday

1/29/2025

This is a reminder that there is no school for students on Monday, February 3. This is a Professional Development day for Teachers.

We did it!! We earned a school-wide Bobcat Best incentive!

What is Bobcat Best?

Bobcat Best is our school-wide list of expectations (Be safe, Be kind, Be responsible, Be respectful.) When a student is caught doing these things, a staff member awards the student with a Bobcat Best Ticket. As a school, we collect these tickets in a HUGE box in the office in an attempt to fill the ENTIRE thing!

We did it! So, today we were treated to a SILENT DISCO DANCE PARTY in the gym! Thank you, PTO for sponsoring and coordinating a fun day for us! Here are some pictures from the day...

This Friday, January 31, is Pajama Day!

Students are invited to wear their favorite pajamas to school for a day of comfort and school spirit.

Reminders:
✅ Pajamas should be school-appropriate
✅ Please wear regular school shoes—no slippers for safety reasons.
✅ If wearing a nightgown, consider adding leggings or shorts underneath.
✅ Stuffed animals and blankets should stay at home.

We can't wait to see everyone in their comfy PJs! 🎈✨

If you did not schedule conferences yet and would like to do so, please email your child's teacher directly to get on their schedule.
