We’re starting a new end-of-school fundraiser! The goal for this is to collect money to donate to Global Green, which is an Earth-centered nonprofit organization. Students can bring in loose change to donate and put it into a jar their teacher has given. We will start this on Monday, 5/24, and go until Friday, 6/4.

Help save our Earth by donating change for a Change!

As the end of the school year approaches, we wanted to remind families and students that district-issued technology devices will be collected. Especially in the case of iPad chargers, it is expected that families will return the charger provided by the district. Many teachers have already begun asking that iPad chargers be returned to school, and if your child's charger is missing, we would urge you to search for it. It is quite costly to replace the genuine Apple chargers provided with each iPad. As always, student devices should be updated, restarted, and charged to be ready for school. Thank you for your support regarding student devices.

The PTA will be supplying popsicles for all students during the last week of school during their last PE class of the year. Please see the ingredients below. Parents will need to contact the office if they DO NOT want their child to have a popsicle.

We want to stay connected to our community! Please complete this form if you have a question, concern, suggestion, or compliment. Mrs. Buch and Mr. Walton will monitor the form weekly and follow up on anything shared.

A huge THANK YOU to those who have taken the time to complete the form!
