Principal’s Update

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we wrap up the first quarter of the school year, I want to express my gratitude for your ongoing support and involvement in our school community. The hard work, dedication, and resilience demonstrated by our students, teachers, and staff have been truly remarkable. 

I’m excited to share some news about an upcoming change for our students. Starting with the second quarter, we will be introducing paper planners for all students. We believe that these planners will help our students develop strong organizational skills, time management, and a sense of responsibility, essential for their academic success. With this addition, we aim to enhance their ability to stay on top of assignments, deadlines, and extracurricular activities, providing them with valuable tools for their educational journey. Your partnership in supporting this initiative will be greatly appreciated as we work together to empower our students for continued growth and achievement.  Student planners are going to be distributed on Tuesday during advisory.  Please build an evening routine with your child to look at the planner and discuss the day.   

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our school office. We look forward to another great quarter ahead.

Sincerely,

Liza

4-Day Weekend

There will be no school on Friday, Oct. 13, and Monday, Oct. 16. Please enjoy this time as a family, and we look forward to seeing the students on Tuesday, Oct. 17.

Picture Re-Takes

Picture re-takes will be on Thursday, Oct. 26. Re-takes will only be allowed for students who were not present for picture day or for students whose parents wish for the picture to be retaken. If you would like your child to get their picture retaken, please send them to school with their picture package. They will return their package to Studio 5 on the day of the picture retakes and get their picture retaken. Please contact Traci Banker ([email protected]) in the front office with any questions.

Non-School-Related Items

Parents, we are requesting your help in ensuring that students leave all non-school-related items at home. We have seen an increase in the number of toys and stuffed animals at school. These create a distraction in our classrooms.
