Announcements:

Please remember to send your child's Ipad to school every day. Also, please make sure that it is charge every evening as we do not have chargers at school for the Ipads. Thank you!!

Please remember that the front car-loop areas are for our families that are dropping off and picking their child(ren). In order to help keep our lines moving, we ask parents do not exit their vehicles in the car-loop lines. If your child requires additional assistance, please park in one of our parking spaces. We also ask that all families use the designated crosswalks when walking across the parking lot. This is for the safety of all our learners. Thank you for your help in keeping our kids safe!

Our amazing principal, Jennifer Martin, will be sending out a digital weekly newsletter. This newsletter will be the main source of campus wide news and upcoming events.

Please make sure to look at your child's daily behavior calendar. Our goal is for the children to color in the day with the appropriate behavior. Many times, the children forget. If it is not colored, please assume it is a great day. If you see a teacher comment, we would love for you to have a conversation with your child about the what happened to receive the comment. Please know many warnings were given before a comment was written. :-)

Please review and take out all papers from the green folder each day.
