A Message from Mrs. Spisich

Thank you again to our wonderful families for the generous food donations for our staff dinner and for attending parent teacher conferences! Your trust and partnership mean so much to us as we work together to support your children.

I'm also incredibly thankful some of our items from the lost and found were reunited with their homes! 🙂

We are looking forward to our first student leadership Popcorn Friday at recess today!

Wishing you all a great Friday and enjoyable weekend!

Ms. Dres was nominated by her colleagues as a great thought partner who cares deeply about her students and fellow staff members. She is continually growing her expertise, seeking out professional learning opportunities, and trying new strategies to enhance her teaching and support student success. Beyond the classroom, Ms. Dres has taken on the role of sponsoring our 5th grade drama club, sharing her passion for theater with students and providing them with a wonderful opportunity to explore and develop their talents in the performing arts.

Building Information

Book Fair

A big shout out this week to Mrs. Bradley for her incredible efforts in running our Scholastic Book Fair! This event is always a favorite for our students, and we are so grateful for the time and energy she pours into organizing and managing it. A heartfelt thank you as well to the parents who volunteered their time to help make the Book Fair a success. Your support not only creates excitement around reading but also helps provide valuable resources and opportunities for our school. We couldn’t do it without you!

Medication Update/Reminder

To ensure the safety and well-being of our students, we want to remind you of our school’s procedures for medication distribution. All medications should be kept in the office along with a medication form that can be either found on our website or directly from the office. If there is any change in your child’s medication, please bring the updated medication along with the original prescription label directly to the office to complete the required paperwork. Thank you for your help with this. For any additional questions, feel free to reach out to our district nurses.
