Look Who's Back 😎
From The Principal's Desk
Welcome back Wildcats!
We are happy to have everyone back to school. We hope you had a great summer and are looking forward to a great school year. The year has started off quickly and students and staff are getting adjusted back to the school schedule. The new smiles in the TK and Kindergarten classrooms are a welcome addition to campus and the 8th graders are enjoying their new place as the top of the class. We have some exciting events coming up for Back to School night. It is planned for September 11th starting at 5PM with a baked potato fundraiser dinner with proceeds going to the 8th grade class. There will also be a FREE photo booth with lots of fun props, Kona Ice will be there, and you will get a chance to visit your child's classrooms. We hope you can attend.
We look forward to working with you throughout this school year, please reach out to your child's teacher or the office if you have questions. We want to make the 24/25 school year a great success.

Coding
CODING STUDIO is "back in action" again this school year! Beginning Coding class permission slips will be handed out to teachers the week of Sept 3rd. The class is held from 2:30-3:30PM and open to 3rd-8th grade. School does does not provide transportation home after the class. If interested, please check with your teacher for the form. This class is limited to 25 students and is based on "first come-first served". Please turn in forms to Mrs. Downs in Room 216 (Science Lab). There will be TWO beginning classes this year- choose either Monday OR Tuesday when you submit your permission slip. All levels are welcomed- we will help you learn how to code🙂

You can sign up for Beginning Band during our Back to School Night in front of room 402 (across from the gym). SEE YOU THERE!!
Drop Off/Pick Up
Please make the school aware of any changes in your child’s “go home” plans, especially when younger children are involved. Let children know before school if there is a change in their daily schedule. Send a note to your child’s teacher or call the office. Students who are going to a friend’s home must have a note from their parent. PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE BEFORE 12:00 PM IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE PLANS FOR YOUR CHILD. Due to the loss of instruction time, students will not be called out of class early to wait for parents/guardians to pick them up in the office. The office will call the classroom when the parent/guardian arrives.
Thank you all for your cooperation in the new drop off/pick up locations. It is important to keep our students safe!
Volunteering V.I.P. Program
