Car Rider Procedure Reminders
- We need to form 2 lanes. This limits the traffic that is backed-up on Northwood Road. Please continue the 2 lanes around the full loop (staff directing car rider traffic should see 2 lanes in front and behind them). If cars are not forming 2 lanes, staff will help cars adjust, but this may change the order of the cars in line. Thank you for your patience!
- Use the passenger side for your child. This makes loading more efficient and safe.
- Teach your child to buckle/unbuckle independently.
- Follow staff directions and pull up when possible.

September Curriculum Connections
Check out the linked Curriculum Connections below to see what our Superstars will be working on in each subject area during the month of September! We want to share the learning topics at all of the grade levels so that you are familiar with what topics and content are taught this month! Your child's teacher is always happy to provide more details should you have questions!
A Note From Our School Counselor...
Our school counselor, Mandy Frayer, has been busy talking with each class these first weeks of school. She wanted to make sure you had this important information that she has discussed:
- Bully Prevention Postcard: This is going home in every student’s folder this week. It provides information on the process that our students learn in order to stand up for themselves and recognize/report bullying. Students are instructed to share this paper with an adult at home and discuss what they learned.
- Parent Referral Form for Counseling Support: 21-22 Parent Referral Form
Attendance By Grade-Level
Research shows a direct relationship between school attendance, academic achievement and success in school. The state’s Missouri School Improvement Plan (MSIP5) expectation for public school attendance is 90% or above.
We are striving to ensure that at least 90% of students are here at least 90% of the time. At the end of 1st quarter, we will share an update about the percentage of students who have met that goal by grade-level, but until then we will share the average attendance by grade-level each week.
See below for the average attendance by grade-level from September 7 - September 10.
Kindergarten: 92.66%
1st Grade: 94.79%
2nd Grade: 95.84%
3rd Grade: 94.85%
4th Grade: 96.04%
5th Grade: 95.87%
School: 94.98%
This week we awarded 7,689 STAR Points!
This year we are working hard to recognize students for all the great things that they are doing. When staff notice students following our school PBIS expectations (Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Proactive, Be a Leader) they often award students a STAR Point.
Dad/Principal Pope Jokes
Evaporated milk is confusing. There's so much liquid in it.
Did you hear the rumor about butter? You’d better not spread it!!
