That's a wrap!
Well families... we just wrapped up our first month of school. So far we have had a great start to the school year. Mr. Bryant and I are enjoying getting into classrooms and being part of that various learning environments. Students are excited to show us the math game that they are playing, the book that they are reading, new words that they are learning, artistic creations that are being created and so much more.

1) While we understand dismissal is not perfect... we are still working to provide the safest option for all. In the meantime, we are going to continue with parents standing by the flagpole. A staff member will alert families when your child's grade level is approaching so you know when your child is coming. Thank you for your continued patience and support.

Free and Reduced Lunch Forms
Families - You will be receiving a Free and Reduced Lunch Form in the mail. Our goal is to ensure all families have access to this helpful program if needed. Please complete the form and send it back to school. Your child(ren) can either give it to their teacher or drop it off in the main office. Be sure to sign the document as well. If you have already completed the form in person or online this year, no need to fill it out again. Finally... you must fill out the document EVERY YEAR. Call the office if you have any questions.

Group Chats (REMINDER)
Families… We currently live in a world where technology is at our fingertips at all times. And with that, it is important that we learn ways to use technology appropriately. We also know that technology isn’t going away… as it shouldn’t. There are many benefits to it. However, each year we are tasked with investigating negative behaviors on phones. For example, people being very harsh towards one another on group chats… roasting one another... students taking pictures of other students without permission… etc. This also can take place on video game platforms and any messaging applications. We ask that you speak with your children about the importance of being respectful and using technology appropriately. Thank you in advance for your help.
