Principal Message
Parents,
We had a busy week with our talented 4th grade performance and our K-5 Learning Lab sessions! Thank you to all that participated and helped organize these events. It was a wonderful week.
We look forward to another fun filled week with our Tiger Beat Choir Tour, PE Dance Day (NOW Dec. 13th), Author Chris Barton, and 4th Grade Field Trip (Changed to the 16th). It will be a busy week for us!
Our students and staff want a PJ Day on Dec. 21st! Can you help us make that happen? We are about $80 shy of making our Greenback Goal. Let's help them be cozy for their Winter Parties. We appreciate you helping support our school!
We look forward to a successful end to the first semester.
Thank you,
Tara Bailey

Spinal Screening
5th Grade Spinal Screening will take place for 5th grade boys on January 5, 2017, in the am and for the girls on January 6, 2017, in the am. House Bill 832 requires screening of all 5th graders for abnormal spinal curves to begin in detection, at an early stage, so the need for treatment or observation can be determined.
The school nurse will be conducting the screening on both mornings in the clinic and you will be notified if there is a suspected deviation or curvature of your child’s spine for further evaluation. Each child is screened individually in a private and confidential area.
To properly screen for spinal abnormalities, all students must remove their shirt for the exam. We encourage the girls to wear a halter/sport/tube top/swim suit top underneath their shirt on the exam day.
Please call the clinic or our school nurse for any questions regarding the screening process at 210-407-8203.
