Welcome to 2022! As with everyday at an elementary school, you don't know what the day will bring.

Our school community is doing a great job keeping everyone safe. Thank you for keeping sick kids home and not getting frustrated when we call you to pick up a sick kid is really helpful.

Our staff is working hard cleaning, doing mask and hand washing reminders so your kids can stay at school.

PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENT TO WEAR THEIR MASK DURING RECESS. Masked students do not have to stay home if exposured at school.

If you student is vaccinated, please bring a copy of their card to the office. This will help us with all of our contract tracking.

We got this Riebli!

XO, Emily
