Principal's Message
Dear Families,
We have our first music performance of the year on March 13th with our 1st and 2nd graders. Please check the communication from your student's teacher for more information.
We have 3 more weeks before spring break. We want to do as much learning as possible. We are aware that there are illnesses going around but we want students to be here if they are well enough. Please consult the Too Sick for School guidelines if you are not certain about sending your child to school. The guidelines are attached to this newsletter.
In partnership,
Jennifer Robbins
Upcoming Dates
March 13 - 1st and 2nd grade music concert, 5:30 pm
March 20 - PTA Meeting, 2:30 pm
March 24-28 - Spring Break
Garden Work Party
Birthday Treats
We kindly request that parents do not send treats or snacks to school for birthday celebrations. This promotes inclusivity, healthier choices, and focused learning. Some students have dietary restrictions or allergies that prevent them from enjoying certain treats. By not having treats, we can ensure that valuable class time is not disrupted and that our students can fully engage in their lessons.
