School of Excellence Survey
Please help us complete the process for our PTA School of Excellence designation. Click HERE to respond to the follow up survey after one was done in the fall. Thank you for your help!
Medications
If your child has medication at school, please make sure you pick it up from the health room no later than 1:00 pm on 5/22/24. School District Policy requires that medications that are not picked up at the end of the school to be destroyed.
Report Cards and End of Year Communications
Just a reminder that final report cards will NOT be mailed for 2nd through 5th grades as all grades can be accessed via Parent Backpack. Kindergarten and 1st-grade report cards will be emailed since they are not in Parent Backpack. If you are unsure how to access your Parent Backpack account, please contact the office.
Prior to the last day, teacher's will send home an important letter about your child's current reading level. The letter will also have a QR Code for you to access books/ideas to support your child.
Teachers will begin to send home debts owed letters. Please be sure that your child has all of his/her library books, chromebooks, and chargers ready when it is time.
Fines and Fees
Remember that all fines and fees owed follow students to graduation, so it is important to take care of those sooner than later. This includes any fees owed to our Extended Day Program.
Chromebook Return Preparation
As we get closer to the end of year, it is important that you begin to check on chromebooks and chargers to be sure all is ready to turn in at the end of the year. Students will be asked to keep their chromebooks at school during state testing to be sure that they are charged and ready to go for testing days. Below you will find information about how to prepare for chromebook return.
- Students need to check for name stickers on top and barcode sticker on the bottom
- Students need to remove any extra stickers
- Students need to check for any damages
- Students need to be sure they have a charger with name sticker on it
- Students need to pay for a missing or damaged item

Transportation for Next Year (2024-2025)
If your child will need bus transportation next year and did NOT have it this year, you will want to be sure that you request transportation services no later than July 8th in order to have bus services the first day of school. Any requests after that date will likely not be routed until several weeks into school.
