Parking Lot Reminder - Right Turn Only: When pulling out of the parking lot during arrival or dismissal please make sure you follow the right turn only sign. When cars attempt to make a left turn out of the parking lot it creates congestion which causes delays for our buses and other families attempting to drop off of pick up their students. Thank you for your help in keeping our traffic flow as smooth as possible.
Talent Show
This year’s Talent Show will be held on June 5th. As the lead staff for this event, I will be rehearsing with all students at least once before the show. If your student is in the Talent Show, please help by practicing your students’ talent with them at least once also. This year, we will have all students use karaoke tracks so we can hear their voices shine! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out.
Thank you,

Attendance Celebrations:
We only have 17.5 days left of school. Each class that meets their classroom attendance goal get to earn time to play in our Coyote Bouncy house. For our 3rd-5th grade students, they have the state test that they will be taking. We need all are students here to continue growing as learners and show off what they've learned this year.
Ways to support with testing:
- Daily attendance.
- Good sleep - our young kids need a lot of sleep.
- Breakfast- nutritous food to fuel them for the day.
