Dear Parents,

Our Bears have worked very hard this week, and we are reviewing our middle of the year data. Your student's teacher will be sending home reports in January to provide information regarding the assessments our students took this week. The results will provide information about your student's progress and areas that need additional support.

Next week is filled with exciting activities, so please review the campus events and sign up for the Holiday Parties by the end of the day, if you plan to attend.

Attendance Matters!

Way to Go 2nd and 5th for the highest attendance on campus last week!

You may come out of dress code on Monday, December 13, 2024!

Thank you for making sure you child is at school everyday!

Attendance is directly linked to academic success!

If you need any assistance with helping your child attend school please reach out to me!

Principal Smith
