A Note From the Principal
Although it was hot, we had a great week of school! I have seen so much learning and following of expectations.
Everyone has been working on showing kindness, and I am also seeing so many students being kind.
This week is a full week, as we will continue benchmark testing. Again, teachers will communicate with you about the results of testing after we collect all of our data.
Thank you also for following pick up and drop of expectations. Please read through these below again as needed.
Thank you,
Mrs. Keever

On the first day of school, parents can drop their students off, but not walk students to their classrooms. We will have all of our staff members available to help your child get to the right place!
Rules for drop off:
1. If you would like to walk your child up to the door please park on the street that is not in front of the circle drive, the street on the side of the circle drive, or the parking lot and walk your child to the door.
2. If you are dropping your child off, please pull into the circle drive. Staff members will open the door of your car and let your child out. Please remain in your car so that we can make this a quick drop off! When adults get out in the circle drive it backs up traffic.
3. Once your child has safely left the car you can pull through the circle drive.
