The Principal's Corner
Dear Parents/Guardians,
It’s a short one this week—mostly reminders!
K–8 Fundraiser
Our Kindergarten through 8th-grade students participated in their fundraiser assembly this week! Each student was sent home with an envelope to sell K–8 Cards for $20 each.
The more cards students sell, the more prizes they can earn—and the more funds that come back to our school! Proceeds help cover student activities such as field trips, assemblies, incentive awards, and more. We truly appreciate your support!
A Few Important Reminders
☎️ Student Absences: Please remember to call the school office when your child will be absent. Communication from parents/guardians is important and helps us keep our attendance records accurate.
🚗 Morning Drop-Off: For safety reasons, parent drop-off in the morning needs to take place at the flagpole. Please use this designated drop-off area. If you need to come into the office, please park your vehicle in a parking space and enter through the front doors.
📬 Check Your Mailbox: K–12 first-quarter midterm grades and 1st–8th grade Beginning-of-Year i-Ready Assessment information for Title I have been mailed. Be on the lookout for these items in your mailbox!
Thank you for being such an awesome LION FAMILY! We appreciate your continued support of our students and school. ❤️🤍 Pride in Self • Pride in Community • Pride in Learning
