*UPDATE: Birthdays at School
We continue to encourage families to bring in pre-packaged snacks for their child's class. Please note that any snack that is NOT pre-packaged will not be shared. While we do not celebrate birthdays during the school day, acknowledging students during snack time in a simple, meaningful way can ensure everyone feels included. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this expectation.
Prepacked snacks should be commercially packed.
*Cupcakes from a grocery story bakery is not considered pre-packaged.

Parent/Teacher Communication App: TalkingPoints
🔽 Download From 🔽
You can download this application from the Google Play and Apple Store. Teachers will share more information about accessing their class during the first couple weeks of school.
You DO NOT need to download the application to receive messages from the teacher or school. Messages will come in an SMS (Short Message Service) Text automatically--and to every family that has a phone registered or updated in PowerSchools. The application tends to work better for pictures and other application features.
IMPORTANT: This application is designed for informal Parent/Teacher communication. Please email or call your child's teacher to communicate formal requests.
