I hope everyone had a relaxing Spring Break and students were able to recharge to finish the rest of the school year. It has been a great first week back! As we head into April and May there will be many things going on. Please make sure to check your child's backpacks for important notes and upcoming events.

We begin Spring testing during the month of April for grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Please make sure to touch base with your child's teacher if you have any questions. It is important to get a good night sleep, eat a good breakfast, and get to school on time.

We are gearing up for a great last few months in school!

Kindly,

Jodi Schreiber

During the week we will be celebrating our Ottawa Staff! PTO will be sponsoring a lunch for our staff and we are looking for donations! Click the link below to sign up to bring in an item!
