Hello Parents and Caregivers,
The end of the year is almost here! Here is some important information for you to know:
Attendance Matters
We'd like to remind everyone of the importance of excellent attendance. Attending school is extremely important for children’s social, emotional and educational development. Children who miss a lot of time at school can suffer in the long term from significant gaps in their learning. We need your support to ensure that children’s education is not affected. Send your child to school every day, all day to get the most out of their education.
Important Times:
7:20 a.m. Arrival
7:20 a.m. - 7:30 a.m. Breakfast & Announcements
7:30 a.m. Instruction Begins
3:00 p.m. Dismissal
Intersession
Parents, Summer Intersession begins for select students on Monday, June 3 at 7:30am. This will be a GREAT opportunity for your child to receive additional support in the content areas of Reading and Math. If your child receives a permission slip, please ensure you sign and return it to their teacher. If you have any questions, please contact the school.

Social Media Awareness
Nowadays, many students have a social media account of some type, whether it be TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, etc. While we know you, as parents, have the ultimate decision in granting them this permission, we just wanted to share some safety reminders and age limits for having accounts.
Sometimes kids don't always make the best choices when they decide to post on a site which could lead to potential problems such as:
cyberbullying
privacy & safety concerns
risks to their reputation
mental health issues
viewing of inappropriate or harmful content
time drain
