Join us Saturday May 18th at 9:00am as we prepare our garden for spring planting. Bring you garden gloves and get dirty!
We are so fortunate to have this amazing garden. We need all hands on deck to keep it looking beautiful.

Field Day 2024!!
Field Day is coming Friday May 17th!! We have a few things we need to help make this an amazing day. Please see the sign-up below.
Field Day Schedule:

Kinder - 2nd Grade - 12:45 pm - 3:00 pm
Lunches will be picnic style on the playground at their usual times. Families are welcome to join.
Theme:
Please have your students wear red, white, and blue!!
Visitors:
Spectators are always welcome! Feel free to go around to the back playground and cheer on your Panda. If you will be taking your student(s) home with you before the usual 3:10 dismissal, be sure to sign your child out for the day. Check with their teacher(s) before leaving.
Helpful Tips and Reminders:
Students should wear appropriate shoes for physical activities. Sunscreen should be applied at home. It is highly recommended that students bring a towel and/or a change of dry clothing with them. The health office does not have a change of clothes than can use once they are wet. Sunglasses or hats are also recommended.

YMCA Summer Day Camp
Attention Parents!
If you are wanting to enter the school for any reason, you must sign in at the front office. This includes before and after school. All other entrances are for staff and students only. We greatly appreciate your help with monitoring everyone who enters our building.
We highly encourage ALL parents to complete a registration to be a volunteer. This will give you a badge to show you have been approved to be in the building and also allow you to help with things like class parties and field trips. https://www.tsd.org/get-involved/volunteer
