REMINDER ~ Teacher/Staff Appreciation is May 5-9!
We have different surprises for each of our staff members all week. You can help by sharing words of appreciation. Sometimes, staff at schools beyond classroom teachers are overlooked. We celebrate all of our staff during this week. Please take some time over break to share your words with several staff members ~ ed techs, specials teachers, admin assistants, nurse, lunch aides, crossing guards, etc.
This form will be open through May 5th. Thanks for your help, as staff often say that these messages, no matter how they are shared, mean the most to them.
Class Placement for the 2025/2026 School Year!
Student placement is a thoughtful process that begins in May and involves input from students, classroom teachers, other school staff, and administrators. Parents/guardians have the opportunity to give input by discussing placement with your child’s current teacher and/or providing written information on how your child learns best to the principal, due by May 1st.

This Monday, March 24th and Tuesday, March 25th are early release days with school dismissing at 11:10 AM on both days for Student-Led Conferences.
Accessible Parking in Main Parking Lot (outside of front entrance) ♿
For students that are getting dropped off tardy to school or getting dismissed early, please be mindful of parking in one of the designated parking spots. We have noticed many parents using the accessible parking spaces as a drop-off for their students or as a space to wait in until it is time to enter school.
