Parent Communication

Dear Families,

As we enter the month of May, it's hard to believe that we’re approaching the final stretch of the school year. This is a time filled with celebration, reflection, and anticipation for all that lies ahead.

Our students have worked hard, and now is the moment to encourage them to finish strong.

May is a busy and exciting month, filled with assessments, final projects, performances, field trips, and other special events. It’s also a great time to reinforce the importance of responsibility, focus, and perseverance. Every day counts, and your continued support at home makes a big difference.

We are so proud of the growth we’ve seen in each student this year—academically, socially, and emotionally. The finish line is in sight, and we’re committed to helping every child cross it with confidence and pride.

Thank you for being such a vital part of our school community. Let’s make these last few weeks meaningful, memorable, and successful—for everyone.

With appreciation,
Dar Porter
Principal

The Elementary Office is selling Buddy Cards for $20. These are great for gifts and the busy nights where one doesn't feel like cooking!! Proceeds will be going to supporting our staff and student incentive funds. (Flyers went home last week! - Please send money in an envelope to the office with $20!) Thanks so much for your support!

The competition is over, but we still have cards for sale if anyone would like to purchase!

A huge thank you to all who participated!

We would appreciate your support with box tops. These are everything they used to be, but now we scan our receipts instead of cutting our fingers with the cardboard!
