Hello Hilltopper Families!
This week is Staff Appreciation Week. It is an opportunity to recognize the invaluable role our staff plays in shaping the minds and futures of our children. Let's take a moment to recognize and appreciate the incredible efforts of our elementary school staff. Each member of our school community, from teachers and nurses to counselors, custodians, educational aides, and cafeteria workers, plays an indispensable role in nurturing and guiding our children's educational journey. Their collective efforts create a supportive environment where students can learn, grow, and thrive. I am grateful EVERY DAY for their hard work, dedication, patience and partnership in fostering a positive learning environment for our children. Thank you to all of you for your kind notes, tokens of appreciation, flowers and heartfelt messages! Thank you too to our wonderful PTO and families for making us feel so loved and appreciated! YOU MADE THE WHOLE SCHOOL SHIMMER!
With gratitude,
Mrs. Makee
IMPORTANT DISMISSAL INFORMATION
To ensure the safety and smooth dismissal of all students, we kindly request that any last-minute changes to your child's dismissal plan be communicated to the school office by 2:00 PM daily. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may still arise and we appreciate your understanding. This proactive approach will allow us to make the necessary arrangements and guarantee a secure and efficient dismissal process for all students. Your cooperation is invaluable in maintaining a safe and organized environment.

STUDENTS WHO LEVELED UP IN LEXIA

First grade made paper airplanes and “runways” out of unifix cubes. Each student flew their airplane 3 times and recorded how far they went by counting the cubes on the runways! We are going to create a graph of all of the data and practice how to make and read the graph/data we collected!
