A Note From Our Principal
Dear Families,
Our students have done a great job taking winter benchmark testing very seriously. I am excited to see their results and celebrate their growth so far this year. Also, winter is here and it is extremely cold outside! Please make sure to send your student to school with winter coats, snow pants, boots, hats and mittens. Our students have two outside recesses each day and we want to make sure they are bundled up and warm. Please also remember to stay in your vehicle in the pick up loop each afternoon when you are picking up your student. Your student will go to a designated location around the loop and you can pick them up there. Finally, congratulations to our students of the month for displaying gratitude in November: Rhea K., Jackson W., Mia R., Maleah S., Alyssa F., Corey B., Tyler G., LillyAnn D., Emma F., Aiden M., Oliver H., Landon S., Miranda M., Paisleigh G., Elsie B., Brooklynn J., Madison V., Maci C., Anthony S., Kaegan S., Angelika P., Patrick B., Mrs. King and Mrs. Kehoe.
