Big Smiles Dentist

We had a wonderful turn out last year and hope there is enough interest to welcome them back this year! Flyers should have gone home last week but you can also register online. Save these dates:

Friday, September 8th: Permission Slips or online registration due
Wednesday, September 27th: Dentist on Campus

Parent Homework

Complete annual online registration on Powerschool by Friday, September 1st:

This will ensure that you receive principal emails, important district communications and complete required school paperwork. Powerschool is also where parents will access Progress Reports, testing data, Achievement Reports, etc.

Class Assignments

When class lists are prepared, many factors are considered before assigning your child to a particular class. If for any reason, a class change needs to be considered, a conference with Dr. Remland will be required. Absolutely NO class changes will take place before Friday, September 8th. The primary reason for this is that classes may change due to unexpected low or high enrollment the first five days of school.
