As we work together to ensure a safe and smooth dismissal process every day, we kindly remind all families of our after-school grounds expectations.

At dismissal, all students must report directly home before playing on the playground or remaining on school grounds. Students are welcome to return to play on school grounds starting at 4:00 PM.

We enforce this practice for two primary reasons:

• Traffic Safety: Dismissal is an exceptionally busy time with high volumes of bus and vehicle traffic around the school campus. Keeping the grounds clear helps prevent accidents and keeps students safe.

• Focused Supervision: During dismissal, our staff’s complete focus must be on supervising students who are actively in our care and ensuring they safely load onto buses, enter vehicles, or begin their walk home.

Thank you for your understanding, support, and cooperation in prioritizing the safety of our entire school community.

We ask that all families who plan to attend Book BINGO ON 10/23 RSVP so the PTO can plan for the event.

Picture retake is coming up on November 6th! If you would like your child to retake their photo from the start of the year, please have them pick up a flyer from the main office.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the Kiwanis Club for their wonderful donation of items from our health room wishlist!

Thanks to a local school grant, our school health room has received much-needed supplies to help us keep our students safe, healthy, and cared for throughout the school year.

This marks the second year in a row that the Kiwanis Club has generously supported our school community. We are deeply grateful for your continued partnership and dedication to the well-being of local students!

We're looking for volunteers to bring Junior Achievement programs to our classrooms and make a lasting positive impact in our school.

As a JA volunteer, you'll lead fun, hands-on lessons and activities that help students build essential life skills in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work and career readiness.

Each program consists of five sessions, with each visit timeframe being between 30-45 minutes depending upon grade level.

No teaching experience is needed! Junior Achievement provides all lesson materials, training, and ongoing support—you simply bring your enthusiasm and real-world experiences.

Help students connect what they're learning in school to the world around them while inspiring the next generation.

Interested or have questions? Contact Joanne Badger at jbadger@jascpa.org today!

Turn everyday games into opportunities to build number sense, strengthen math skills, and have fun together. Try these activities at home!

Card Math: Draw two cards and challenge your child to add, subtract, multiply, or divide the numbers. For an extra challenge, draw three or four cards!

Dice Challenge: Roll two or more dice and use the numbers to create the largest or smallest number possible. Ask your child to explain how they decided.

Prime Number Hunt: Pick a number between 1 and 50. Ask your child to determine whether it is prime or composite. For an extra challenge, see how many prime numbers your child can identify between 1 and 50!
