Annual Asbestos Notice

Every three years, the EPA requires the school system to have the asbestos materials re-inspected by an accredited Asbestos Inspector or Management Planner. The latest re-inspection was conducted in Summer of 2022 with asbestos materials to be found in satisfactory condition. The next accredited re-inspection will occur in Summer of 2025. (Annual Notice)

 

Quarter Two Award Ceremonies

We are excited to recognize students during our Quarter Two Awards Ceremonies! Students will be spotlighted for demonstrating our CARES/APLA characteristics (Responsive Classroom), consistent above grade level performance in reading and/or math, and perfect attendance. Invitations will be sent home on Friday, January 10.

 

 

Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run is an afterschool program like no other! Twice per week for 10 weeks, girls will have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity levels, and learn important life skills. Trained and caring coaches lead 3rd-5th grade girls through interactive lessons and movement activities. The season ends with a celebratory 5K event.

 

This year’s program is still seeking coaches among our parents and teachers. The student participation fee is waived for parents who serve.
