Parents & Families,
If you ordered a shirt to support Miss Brister, we are delayed a bit and the shirts should arrive in a few weeks.
Next week is School Counseling Week. Ms. Smith does a wonderful job as our counselor. Click here to learn more about the role of a counselor and ways to show your appreciation for all Ms. Smith does.
Just some reminders regarding lunch:
- Only adults listed on your child's authorized pick-up form are allowed to eat lunch with students on campus.
- If you’d like a family friend to join your child for lunch, please contact the campus in advance to have their name added.
- We do not accept food deliveries from delivery services for student lunches. All lunches must be dropped off by a family member or friend.
Student Badges for Breakfast
To help the breakfast line move more quickly and efficiently, we will begin attaching badges to the backpacks of students who eat breakfast. These badges will allow the cashier to quickly scan each student, speeding up the process and giving students more time to enjoy their meal.
We appreciate your cooperation and support in making this process as smooth as possible for all students!
Future Chef Competition
Does your child love to cook? Encourage your child to get involved and cook up something amazing!
Our Annual Future Chef Competition is right around the corner! This is a fantastic opportunity for young chefs to showcase their skills and creativity in the kitchen.

Parents will not be allowed to eat lunch with students, do parent observations, or volunteer on major testing days. On designated Makeup Testing days the campus will be open to parents or visitors. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to create a focused and conducive testing environment for our students.
Test Preparation:
To ensure your child performs at their best, please assist us by ensuring they get enough sleep and have a nutritious breakfast. Please have your students leave their cell phone and smart watches at home on testing days. We encourage students to bring snacks and a bottle of water on testing days.

Every day we have Life Habits time that is focused on building social, emotional and behavioral skills. Each week we will post Life Habits conversation starters in our newsletter that are aligned with the Life Habits lessons from the week. We will also have signs in the pick up line for you to access the questions of the week. We hope you enjoy hearing about what your child is learning at school.
Weekly I Will Statements
During morning announcements, we will focus on one LifeLeader Attribute each week and learn what we need to do to develop each attribute so that we can become effective leaders in our school and in our community. We encourage students and families to memorize these statements together and talk about how the attribute is exhibited at home, school and work. We will share the I Will statement in the weekly newsletter and on our campus Facebook page. We look forward to hearing how students are exhibiting the attributes at school and home. Click here to view all 15 LifeLeader attributes.
All households need to complete the Free and Reduced Price School Meal Application each school year, even if your child does not purchase school meals. The application is available throughout the school year and available to complete again should your family have a change in income or additional family members in the household.

Breakfast is served each day from 7:15-7:45.
