It has been a wonderful transition into the school year! We have experienced some of the typical start-of-school hiccups, such as late bus arrivals and dismissals, but those usually get ironed out during the first couple of weeks. Our parent pick-up and drop-off areas are off to safe and successful start as well. Thank you for your support in adhering to our procedures and safety protocols, and for being on time at both ends of the school day. We appreciate your partnership in helping us get the school year up and running!

Please remember to communicate with your child's teacher if you are making a change to their regular end-of-day transportation. Unless we hear from a parent/guardian, we will send your child home utilizing their typical transportation method.

We will already have small groups up and running next week, in order to provide additional math and literacy instruction for students. Utilizing funding provided by the district along with the new Title 1 funding we are receiving this school year, students will be participating in flexible intervention groups based on need. This approach allows us to tailor support to each student's unique needs and ensure they receive targeted assistance to help them succeed. This may mean there are times your student participates in additional groups, and times they do not. Being a Schoolwide Title building gives us the flexibility to keep our groups fluid. You will be receiving additional information about our Title 1 program during fall conferences.

We are looking forward to a wonderful school year!

Our school gardens are also off to a strong start as students have helped to harvest some of the many fruits and vegetables that grew during the summer. Last year's Kindergarteners have already sampled their cucumbers and purple carrots with many more items to come!

4th and 5th Grade students will have their first Junior Master Gardener lessons later this month!
