End-of-year Medication Information
Summer is almost here and we want to remind families that all medications that have been sent to the office need to be picked up by the end of the school year. Any medications that are not picked up will be properly disposed of by our staff. If your child needs medication for the upcoming school year, the appropriate forms need to be filled out by your child's physician. This includes all prescription and non-prescription medications. If your child has medications for Allergies, Asthma, Diabetes, or Seizures they will also need an emergency plan filled out by a physician. All medication forms and emergency plans are available on your school’s website under Families/Health Services and on the link below.

Please let me know if you have any questions and have a wonderful summer!

'I Have A Voice'
The elementary music department collaborated on a district-wide project to share with the community.
The video was inspired by the all-staff kickoff meeting at the beginning of the year which highlighted the district initiative to amplify student voice, music teacher Mary Ann Magill said.
"After some research, we were excited to find the song, 'I Have a Voice,'" she explained. "It seemed to express the vital importance of honoring the unique voice of each little human we are lucky to know each day. Our students were very excited to contribute to this project by learning and singing the song together."
Each school videotaped the students singing in their gym and the videos were edited together to share the power of their combined voices.
