Make your Mark

Here we are at the end of the first six week already. We have enjoyed some cooler temps lately and are loving that! If your child wears a jacket, please consider putting their name on the tag inside or somehow labeling it so we can help get it back to its owner. We historically begin a large pile of lost and found jackets starting about now.

Next week is homecoming. We hope your student participates in the dress up days posted below. Please remember that all dress up days must still be in dress code.

We will have our first lunch and learn coming up September 26, 2024. Based on feedback from you, our parents, we are changing these up a little. We will have parents only the first 15 minutes, and then your student will come in and do some activities with you. We hope that you will plan to join us and find ways to help your child have a good time while improving their math skills.

Please remember that daily attendance is a critical piece of academic success. All students should arrive on campus between 7:35 and 7:55. Students have no more than 3 days to bring a note back in the event of an absence for it to be counted as excused. Parents are limited to writing 3 notes per semester. Any consecutive absences of more than 3 days requires a doctor's note. Excessive absences can result in Saturday School assignment and/or court fines for truancy. Every 3 tardy or leaving early will result in an unexcused absence.

Students may not be picked up from school between 2:30 and dismissal on Monday - Thursday or after 1:30 on Friday. This begins a very active and moving campus, so we do not do pick-ups. Please arrive prior to then or wait until after school.

Students have completed 5 weeks of lessons and have begun discussing the 10 emogers. Ask you student which ones they remember!!
