Field Day was so much fun! Huge shout out to Mr. Scott and all of our volunteers that made the day so successful! Please check out just some of the pictures of this special day below!

We will have our final day clap out on Thursday, May 23 at 3:10 pm. 5th grade will lead every out of the building followed by 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, and finally Kindergarten. The students will exit out the front door and proceed down the sidewalk and then back into the building at the bus doors. We do it this way because it allows us to maintain some order on the dismissal and keep it safe for our students. Students will NOT be permitted to leave with parents at the clap out. Students will need to remain with their class. Teachers have also requested this because it gives everyone the opportunity to be celebrated for completing the school year but then come back in for final good byes with their teachers and classmates.

The area outside of the front doors is reserved for parents and guests and our 5th graders and cones will represent that area. After the cones (as seen in the second picture below) our guests may line both sides of the sidewalk. There is no pre-registration required for this event as it will not be occurring inside and all students will remain with their classes and come back inside.

Bubbles are encouraged but we ask that there be NO SILLY STRING and NO AIR HORNS as we have several students that are sensitive to loud noises. Silly String sticks to the building and the concrete and is very difficult to get off. Again, please NO SILLY STRING and NO AIR HORNS. Thank you for making this dismissal fun for everyone!

Hello Gray Hawk Families!

Want to get a jump start on the next school year?! We are bringing back school supply boxes! These ship directly to your house with all supplies in them! Last year we had a lot of families order and they were all extremely happy. Lots of name brand items in the boxes.

A small percentage will be donated back to the PTO!
