Remember to leave them where they are in the Outdoor Classroom!
Class Placement
Current classroom teachers in grades K-3 have provided their thoughts on preliminary class placements for next year. I anticipate that these will change over the summer as we have students who move in and out of our school.
Moving?

Bus Routes

Summer Improvement Projects
Classroom Painting.
The shed (former classroom) outside will be demolished soon. The roof collapsed over the winter and the building is no longer safe. Removal will help clear the view of our amazing Outdoor Classroom!!!
In addition, our wonderful custodians thoroughly clean all rooms and furniture.
Thanks to Marybeth, Jess and Ann for all of their hard work !
Technology Updates
The Library will be getting a full set of Chrome books.
Grades K-1 will be getting iPads at a ratio of 1 for every 2 students.
