Welcome Back to School

August is just a week away and I can't wait to welcome our students back into the building! Our maintenance and custodial team have been working hard to create the best building for us. The gym is freshly painted, the floors are waxed, and the classrooms are cleaned and ready for learning.

We have some incredible plans for this year! As we all prepare for the first official day of school on August 7th, I have gathered information you will want to know and included it in this newsletter. On August 5th we have our Back to School Night. Sixth graders will be in the building from 5-7 p.m. Seventh and 8th graders can come between 6 - 8 p.m. Lickity Slick Snowballs will be with us that evening as well, so plan on buying a snowcone before you head home.

Lunch money can be deposited on Back to School Night in the office.

Any student participating in athletics or APC need to have a physical on file. Those can be turned in at the office or blank forms can be picked up. Students will be able to sign up for fall athletics on Back to School night in our commons area.

Student schedules will be available online Tuesday, August 6th if you are unable to join us on August 5th.

Don't hesitate to reach out to the office with any other questions or concerns between now and then.

Have a great year!

We have revised our afternoon parent pickup to create a safer process. Please review the maps below! Nothing has changed with morning drop off if you are a returning student.

1. Missed Lessons = Falling Behind: Even one day can mean missing critical instructions and activities, making it harder for your child to catch up.

2. Impact on Future Success: Consistent attendance is a strong predictor of academic achievement and future opportunities.

3. Building Resilience: Regular attendance teaches your child the value of perseverance and responsibility—essential skills for success in life.

4. Stronger Friendships: Daily presence helps your child develop and sustain friendships, which are crucial for emotional and social development.

5. Healthy Routine: Attending school every day establishes a stable routine, promoting better mental and physical health.

Who to contact if your child doesn't want to come to school: Mrs. Kind, x345, or text her at:

Breakfast will continue to be free for all students.

Lunch costs $2.75 for students.

Students are able to use email addresses instead of phone numbers. Cell phones are not required to participate in this fundraiser. The money raised supports so many of our student activities. Look below to see a glimpse of where the largest amounts went last year.
