Spring Footwear Advisory
With the return of the warm weather, we are seeing an increase in the number of students wearing flip-flops to school. As a result, we are also seeing an increase in foot injuries. Please remember that students have recess everyday and are quite active during that time. It is highly suggested that students wear sneakers, Crocs, or other footwear limits slippage and that protects the toes.
Last Day of Kindergarten
The Kindergarten school year ends earlier than other grade levels. The last day of school for Kindergarten students will be Tuesday, June 11. Parents will need to make arrangements for childcare beyond that date. As a reminder, we do not host an end-of-the-year ceremony, but the students' hard work and accomplishments will be recognized through classroom celebrations.
Grade 4 Send-off Event Planned for June 18
Save the date! We will be holding our Grade 4 Send-off Ceremony the morning of Tuesday, June 18. The event will celebrate our fourth-graders upon the completion of their elementary studies. More detailed information will be shared with parents as we get closer to the date of the program.
