April 2024

As we near the conclusion of the 2023-2024 academic year and anticipate the upcoming end-of-year assessments, it's crucial to underscore several key strategies to help students excel during testing periods. First and foremost, prioritize getting ample rest each night leading up to the exams. A well-rested mind is better equipped to tackle challenges and retain information. Additionally, starting the day with a nutritious breakfast provides the necessary fuel for optimal cognitive function and sustained concentration throughout the testing sessions. Furthermore, punctuality is of utmost importance; arriving at school on time ensures students have adequate time to settle in, review any last-minute notes, and approach the assessments with composure. By incorporating these essential testing tips into their routines, students can set themselves up for success and approach their exams with confidence and readiness.

The Farmer’s Market team is working hard to grow our business and continue to offer a variety of products for our customers. In March we added Cajun boiled peanuts and dill pickles as quick, takeaway snacks and our customers have loved them! Each week we strive to bring in different produce items to make sure we are offering something for everyone’s taste buds. We are looking for suggestions for how to improve our products and services. We’d love to hear from our customers - let us know what products you would like to see us carry that may save you a trip to the grocery store.

Preschool 🏫
In order to maintain a positive and respectful learning environment, we believe it is important for all students to adhere to the guidelines set out in the dress code policy.
To ensure clarity and consistency, we will be following a three-step approach in enforcing the dress code. The first step will involve a courteous verbal reminder of the dress code. If a second reminder is needed, you will be asked to sign the dress code policy, and a copy will be sent home. In the event that a third violation occurs, we kindly ask for your assistance in bringing appropriate clothing to school.
We appreciate your support in helping us uphold the dress code standards. To assist in this process, the dress code will be displayed in each classroom for easy reference. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
