Thank you Ms. Bee for facilitating such an COOL event for our CDC, TK, and Kinder classes. IT WAS AWESOME!
The character trait of the month is INTEGRITY - Integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions. We can build character and integrity by making wise choices.

District Changes to Monthly Payroll
Effective July 1, 2019, the district will be moving to a monthly payroll system. This 9 minute video explains the changes in detail.
Clean Classrooms
On June 14th, part of the end-of-year checkout process for teachers will be having their classrooms ready for summer cleaning. The goal in discussing this months in advance is to give teachers time to prepare prior to the month of June. We will discuss this at our April faculty meeting, but I am attaching some pictures to get an idea of what is expected at the end of the school year.
