Meet the Teacher!
We are going to request that families only stay in each classroom for 5-10 minutes. Limiting our time in the classroom & school will help keep our environment healthy and safe!
Our goal is to have teachers reach out to families prior to meet the teacher to welcome students to their class.
Students will be able to bring materials to their classroom during meet the teacher.
Families will need to follow health safety protocols and wear masks while in the school.
Virtual Open House!
Each year we host a Open House during the second week of school. Open House allows teachers the opportunity to share more individualized information about their classroom and build connections with families.
Please mark the following dates on your calendar:
- Open House would occur virtually on the following nights:
- Tuesday, August 31
- 5th Grade – 5pm
- 2nd Grade (except Ms. Dietrich's class) - 6pm

School Supply List
Sign Up for Transportation
Bus Routes will be published the week prior to school starting and posted on our website. We will communicate with families once the information is available.
Kindergarten!
You may also sign up for your staggered entry date by following this link.
As a reminder, Kindergarten students will only attend one day of school during the 1st week of school.
Class assignments- Teachers will be calling families beginning in the afternoon of Thursday, August 26 to tell you your child's class assignment. In order to limit the number of families in the building at one time, your child's teacher will ask you to choose a 20 minute time slot on Friday, August 27 to see your child's classroom. Times will begin at 12:00 and run through 3:00pm. We would ask that siblings not attend if possible, and that it be limited to the parent/guardians and the kindergarten student. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we work to safely allow families to see their child's classroom and meet the teacher.
We will host a Kindergarten Meet the teacher on Friday, August 27th from 10:30am-12pm.
