September Scoop
We’re well into the first quarter, and I’m proud of the dedication our students have shown both in and out of the classroom. This week, we celebrated with our first pep assembly of the year, which was a great success and we wish the cheerleaders luck as they go to their competition this weekend. A reminder that this Monday will be a professional development day for staff, so there will be no school for students. Keep up the great work, everyone, and let’s continue making this quarter a strong one!
Sincerely,
Sarah Combs
Elementary Principal

Car Pick Up Line Reminder
For afternoon pickup, we kindly ask that parents stay in their cars while picking up their children to help keep the line moving smoothly. However, preschool parents should use the second lane, park, and sign their child out as required. This ensures the safety of all students and helps keep the process organized. Thank you for your cooperation!
Remind Communication
Each teacher in the elementary will be utilizing Remind to keep in contact with parents. Please download the app and connect with your child's class to stay up to date!
Meal Account Payment Information
Parents if you are paying meal accounts or any other fees for students at both buildings please write separate checks/cash. Student deposits will be made to student accounts on Fridays, unless we are out of school. Then it will be done on the last day of attendance for the week. Please be understanding if this process is slightly delayed some weeks. The building secretaries work diligently to get deposits in, but sometimes this process gets delayed due to outside circumstances. Thank you for your understanding.
