Thank you to all the grandparents who joined us for lunch for Grandparent's Day! We had a record number of grandparents which is evidence that we are moving in the right direction, academically and culturally. Let's continue to come out and support our students. Remember, it takes a village!

Our School Vision

The vision is for all of us to build on our students' past to face the challenges of the future in an intentional environment supporting 100% of students everyday.

Sept. 29 - Awards Day Program (Pre-K - 2nd @8:30 & 3rd -5th @ 9:05)

Students will be recognized monthly for displaying S.O.A.R. characteristics. S stands for service. Students can provide service to fellow classmates and others by assisting them w/o even being asked. O stands for ownership and students are taught to take ownership of their own learning by completing classwork, homework and asking questions for clarity and understanding. A stands for attendance. Attendance is very important for every student's academic growth and achievement. Lastly, R stands for respect. Students will be respectful to all individuals in our school. When students are caught showing these characteristics, they will be rewarded during our monthly award ceremony. Parents are welcome to attend the monthly Awards Program.
