Principal's Message

Dear Families,

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Title 1/Curriculum Night and Book Fair last Wednesday night! Families had the opportunity to see what the curriculums are that their students will be using this year and ask questions. We also shared our priorities for spending Title 1 funds to support family involvement throughout the year and the positions we are able to fund thanks to being a Title 1 school.

Due to the weather last week, we have extended our book fair to be open Monday and Tuesday this week. Students and families may stop by the media center 7:20 am-2:30 pm to shop. Thank you to our PTA for hosting this fundraiser and to all of the volunteers who have worked shifts at the book fair!

Thank you for your continuous efforts to help your child arrive at school on time and to schedule appointments after school when possible. We are making great strides in our instruction and every minute counts!
