Congratulations to our Odyssey of the Mind teams for a job well done last weekend. They worked incredibly hard to prepare and showed strong teamwork skills. We are so proud of all of our teams for their participation. 2 of our teams placed high enough to attend the state competition and we wish them the best of luck!
Thank you to everyone who attended our first Spring Performance of the month. A lot of practice went into the evening and we continue to be impressed by the musical abilities of our students under the direction of Mrs. Bailey. We hope to see you at our next performance on March 21st.
We hope you will join us at the family dance this evening! A special thanks to our wonderful PTA and the many parent and staff volunteers who have helped to make this event possible. It is sure to be a fun night for all!
Student Belongings
Please help your child be proactive in keeping up with their belongings such as coats, sweatshirts, water bottles, and lunch boxes by labeling items with their first and last name. We often have many unclaimed items in the lost and found and we would like to help students have items returned to them if they are misplaced.
Kindergarten Enrollment
Enrollment is open for Kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year for students who will be 5 years old by August 31, 2024.
