Our Picture Day will be on Tuesday, September 22nd. On that day, your child will bring home paperwork explaining how to view images online and place an order. If you need more than one copy of the form, please inform your child's teacher. There will also be a Picture Retake Day on Wednesday, October 21st.

Great News!! You can now report your student’s absence directly through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal instead of calling the school office!

Steps to Submit an Absence Request:

• Log In: Open your Infinite Campus Parent account on your web browser or mobile app (Infinite Campus Parent Portal)

• Navigate: Click the three-line menu icon, select More, and then click Absence Requests
• Click "New" on the bottom left corner- in the blue box

• Select Student: Check the box nexttto your child’s name

• Choose Reason & Type: Select the reason from the Excuse drop-down menu. Choose whether it is a Full Day, Arrive Late, or Leave Early

• Enter Dates/Times: Fill in the correct start and end dates for full days, or the specific times for late arrivals and early departures

• Add Comments & Files: Type a brief explanation in the comment box. You can also upload a doctor's note or medical excuse document if you have one

Please contact the school office if you have any questions or need technical support. We are hoping this new feature will make calling in your child more convenient for you!

Your student will have an opportunity to increase their awareness of their social and emotional behaviors through completing a social, academic and behavior screener. The screener, mySAEBRS, will ask students a total of 21 questions and will be completed in under 10 minutes. The student’s teacher will also complete a similar screener based on their observations of their students. This screener will allow school staff to identify universal and targeted areas for growth focused on students’ ability to regulate their emotions, develop positive relationships and make positive decisions. This screener is done twice a year.

Feel free to contact Sydnee Wright with any questions or for more information. If you would like to opt your child out of the screening process please complete this opt out form by September 30th.

With the warm weather outside, it is highly recommended that you send your child with a pre-filled water bottle each day. Water only please.
