Dear Bobcat Families:

It’s hard to believe that we are already in Semester 2! Students are settled in routines and understand our school-wide expectations. As a Leader In Me School, we continue to focus on the 7 habits and creating meaningful opportunities for our students as we continue to grow leaders within our building.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for adjusting to our new traffic patterns for car line dismissal. As many of you know, we now dismiss students with a “double line”. We appreciate that you have limited cell phone use and that you are on time for afternoon pick-up.

Thank you to our Bobcat families for your participation and contributions to our Scholastic Book Fair. It’s always a great week when we can celebrate reading with our students. We also had a chance to celebrate during our Literacy Night - students enjoyed daily activities, a school-wide bookmark creation contest, door decorating, an I-ready reading challenge and so much more! If you get a chance, ask your child about our “masked reader” assembly!

As always, thank you for your continued support. Please reach out to me with any concerns, comments, or suggestions.

In partnership,

Mrs. Anderson, Principal

All students will be issued and are required to wear a school ID and lanyard while at school. This is part of our school dress code.
