The March Wildcat PRIDE Celebration was held on Friday, March 27th at 8:00 a.m. During the celebration, students were recognized by their teachers for exemplifying what it means to be a Wildcat by living out our five PRIDE traits: Positivity, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Empathy.

Our next celebration will take place on Friday, April 24th at 8:00 a.m. in the auxiliary gym. If your student is selected, their classroom teacher will reach out to notify you.

We are proud of our Wildcats and look forward to honoring more students who demonstrate PRIDE every day!

1. Make sure your child gets enough sleep
   A well-rested child is better able to focus and do their best.
2. Provide a healthy breakfast
   Nutritious food helps fuel the brain and improves concentration.
3. Keep a positive attitude about testing
   Encourage your child and avoid putting too much pressure on them.
4. Stick to a routine
   Keeping mornings and evenings consistent helps children feel calm and prepared.
5. Encourage effort, not just results
   Remind your child that doing their best is what matters most.

Summer School will be held June 1st through June 25th, Monday through Thursday (no Fridays), from 8:30–11:30 a.m. Breakfast will be available for students from 8:00–8:30 a.m., and lunch will be offered from 11:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m. Lunch is optional for students attending the morning session. In addition, our After School Program (ASP) will run Monday through Thursday from 12:00–3:30 p.m. for families who would like extended afternoon programming. Transportation will be available in most cases; however, accommodations depend on location, available drivers, and bus capacity.

Summer School is open to all students entering grades 1–6. The program will be organized the same as last year and includes both Targeted Groups and General Groups. If your child has been recommended for Summer School, their teacher will discuss this with you at conferences and ask you to sign an agreement form. Families who would like their child to participate in a semi-structured, hands-on learning environment with peers may register for General Sessions. All parents must complete the registration form for each child attending Summer School or ASP and indicate transportation needs. General Sessions are filled based on the date of registration, so we encourage families to sign up as soon as possible.

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding our summer programs.

If your student brings their lunch from home, we kindly ask that you consider what is being packed—especially items that need to be heated.

While we do have a couple of microwaves available for student use, items that take longer than 1–2 minutes to heat can quickly create a long line. When several students are waiting to warm up their food, it reduces the amount of time they have to actually eat their lunch.

To help ensure all students have enough time to enjoy their meal, please try to send foods that require minimal heating or can be eaten without warming.

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us make lunchtime a positive experience for everyone.

As a reminder, students must be fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication before returning to school.

Keeping students who are ill at home helps protect the health and well-being of all students and staff.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
