Our PTA has decided to work with a company to sell school supply kits for next year! You have the option to order all your child's school supplies from one website and they will be shipped directly to school for no additional cost. The company is also promising to replace any supplies throughout the year, as needed. If you'd like to order supplies for your child, please go to www.educationalproducts.com/shoppacks and use our school code BUC063.
School supply lists will also be available on our website in June for families who wish to purchase their own supplies.
Family Survey!
We love to hear feedback! Please take a moment to complete the parent survey for the 2024-2025 school year. Our Crew reviews this data to make improvements and celebrate success. Knowing your thoughts will help us grow! Thank you in advance.

EOG Testing
End of Grade (EOG) Testing for 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade must occur in the last 10 days of school as directed by state law. We are asking for all families to note June 2nd - June 13th on their calendar for EOG testing.
We have not identified exact dates yet for each grade level. However, having students here on the date of testing to reduce the number of make-up tests is essential. Please mark your calendar and plan accordingly.
Field Trip Payments
For Field Trips and other school related payments, please use School Cash Online which is the WCPSS preferred method of payment.
Enthusiasm
This week, our school community will focus on the character strength of Enthusiasm. Enthusiasm means approaching life with energy and excitement, and it helps bring joy to those around us.
When people are enthusiastic, they show excitement about tasks, making it easier for them and others to stay involved. Enthusiastic people often inspire others, bringing fresh ideas and helping groups work better together.
Enthusiasm is contagious! It can lead to more success and happiness for both individuals and groups. When one person shows enthusiasm, it can encourage others to feel more energized and motivated, too.
To practice and encourage the character strength of enthusiasm at home, please visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families (available in English and Spanish), where you will watch a video together and discuss a quote and three questions. Below are links to this week’s P2 for Families lessons. Click on the grade level that best meets your child’s needs.
Thank you for your support!
