Congratulations To Our 5th Grade Students For Winning, Placing Third, and Doing Our Best In The Battle of The Books!
Our 5th grade students participated in the Battle of the Books against the other 5th grades in the district. I am pleased to announce that we came in 1st and 3rd place!! We are so proud of all of our students who participated and did their best. Great job everyone!
Flip Flops and Slides at School
A reminder that students should not wear flip flops or slides to school. They are not suited for walking up and down stairs and they are also not appropriate for physical education or recess as they are a tripping hazard. Please do not send students to school in flip flops or slides. Thank you.
Lost and Not Found!
I would call it the lost and found but nothing is being found!! Please check the lost and found outside of the office for your child's jacket, sweatshirt, t-shirt, pants, water bottle, shoes, books, trinkets, etc. It is overflowing!!
DISTRICT NEWS
District Climate Survey Reminder
Today is the final deadline to opt students out of the School Climate Questionnaire, which the superintendent shared earlier this month. Please complete this form if you do not want your child in grades 4-12 to participate in completion of the questionnaire. If this form is not completed, we will assume you agree to your child's participation. Any parent completing this form will automatically receive a response to confirm that it has been submitted. You must complete this form for each child whom you are opting out of the questionnaire. Now is your opportunity to complete the parent questionnaire. Please do so by no later than June 19th.
