Bus Evacuation

Today your child participated in a Bus Evacuation drill. This drill teaches all students in K - 6th grade how to appropriately ride on the bus and what to do in case of an emergency.

Mother Daughter Evening

Girls in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade received an invitation to attend a Mother Daughter Evening on Monday, October 17th at 6:30pm. The student and a female adult (mother, aunt, grandma, etc.) are welcome to attend to learn about growth and development. If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to contact the office or the school nurse.

Thank You

Thank you parents for attending parent teacher conferences and the book fair last week. We all enjoyed sharing your child’s accomplishments during the first grading period with you. If you didn’t get a chance to purchase a book at the book fair, you can shop online until October 2nd.
