I am happy to share that the school year is off to a fantastic start! Our pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students are quickly adapting to their new routines and procedures, and it's been wonderful to see their enthusiasm and excitement as they embark on this learning journey. The children are engaging in classroom activities and making new friends as they begin the new school year. We appreciate your support in helping them adjust to these new routines and look forward to a productive and enjoyable year ahead!

1. Missed Lessons = Falling Behind: Even one day can mean missing critical instructions and activities, making it harder for your child to catch up.

2. Impact on Future Success: Consistent attendance is a strong predictor of academic achievement and future opportunities.

3. Building Resilience: Regular attendance teaches your child the value of perseverance and responsibility—essential skills for success in life.

4. Stronger Friendships: Daily presence helps your child develop and sustain friendships, which are crucial for emotional and social development.

5. Healthy Routine: Attending school every day establishes a stable routine, promoting better mental and physical health.

See the video below to help your child learn to count the "math way".

The pick up zone at dismissal time on 2nd Street for both Pre-K and Kindergarten is a vehicle pick up zone only. For safety reasons, you cannot park and walk up to pick up students from the teacher. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe!
