A Note From Mrs. Looman
- Thank you to those who have conversations with your child(ren) about their behavior at school. It is so beneficial for them to know that your expectations for them at school are those of respect, hard work, hard effort, and kindness. Please continue to have that dialogue with them as it makes a big difference during their school day.
PTO News
- The March meeting will be on Monday, March 4th at 3:30 in the staff room.
