Weekly Update to Families
August 16, 2024
Brief Message From the Principal
I am so excited our school year is upon us! In an attempt to stay better connected, I will send out a weekly email highlighting our building, informing you of upcoming events, and timely reminders! In this update you will find the following:
- Note the upcoming Back-to-School Night/Picture Day on your calendar
- Review the new expectations for Drop-off and Pick-up for this year
- Review the lunch menu for August
- Get involved with our VERY supportive PTA
We are better together! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or feedback. I know we are on the same page in wanting our students to be as safe as possible and for our school to be the best it can be! By working together, we will make that happen!
🎉 ATTENDANCE MATTERS! We need our students at school every day! 🏆
