Dear Families,

Safety is our top priority, and to ensure everyone is prepared in case of an emergency, we conduct monthly safety drills at our school. These drills help students and staff practice important procedures and stay calm during unexpected situations. Tomorrow, we will be holding an evacuation drill to review the steps for safely exiting the building. Please talk to your child about the importance of these drills, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for your support in keeping our school community safe

From the Counselor - What is your student learning about during Counselor time From the Counselor - What is your student learning about during Counselor time

We started two new units this week, one each for 4th and 5th graders. 4th graders are learning about Cause and Effect and how “one thing always leads to another”. If you can guess what will likely happen next, you have a pattern. And patterns, especially negative ones, can be changed by changing the Cause or our reaction to the cause.


5th graders will be learning what to do “When Life Gives You Lemons”. You “Make a Plan”, of course! This is a class on managing stress and making a plan to manage at least one stressor so you have more bandwidth to handle other stressors. Should be fun!

The Salmon are here! The Salmon are here!

The salmon eggs have arrived from Minter Creek Hatchery in Purdy (first 3 pictures), they spent the first week "chillin'" at the bottom of the tank. They are currently at the "eyed stage".

This week they started hatching (next 2 pictures and little video).

Students will get to observe the students in each of their different stages.

These are Chum salmon, and they will probably be released sometime in the early Spring at Chambers Creek.
