Mission Moment

Our new play area is open! Teachers and students celebrated the playground's grand opening by going down the slide!

Drop and Go Zone

Parents are reminded that the drop off lane on the north side (school side) of Payne St. is for "Drop and Go". In that area, drivers pull up, get the child(ren) out of the car and onto the sidewalk where there are school personnel to guide them as needed, and then get back in the car and drive away. This allows others a space for safe drop off as well. We all need to do our part for student safety.

If you need to stay by the fence until your child enters the school, or want to sit in your car to do the same, please park elsewhere to ensure all parents have the space to drop and go safely.

Please note that school staff are not allowed to step off the sidewalk to cross your child. This is the responsibility of the person dropping the child off. School personnel will guide your student once they are safely on the sidewalk.

Erin's Law

Erin's Law requires schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades pre-K through 12. Our program is developmentally appropriate, interactive, and aligned with learning standards. The focus of this presentation is to teach children basic skills to keep them safe from dangerous or abusive situations.

We will be hosting a parent information evening to preview the information that will be shared with the students and answer any questions. The parent event will be held on Wednesday, October 1, 2024 virtually from 6:00-& 7:00 PM.

Inclement Weather Reminder

When the weather prevents us from lining up outside before school, all students enter the building from the door on Payne St. beginning at 8:30 am.

Snacks For Students

Please be sure to send a nutritious, nut-free snack to school with your child(ren) each day. We are not able to provide snacks for students.

HAPPY HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Hispanic Heritage Month is marked annually in the United States from September 15 to October 15. This national celebration began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week. It was expanded to cover an entire month in 1988. The observance honors the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latin-American communities. This includes those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
