Our New Covered Walkway
Thanks to PTO for covering the sidewalk in front of the school. It makes rainy day drop off so much easier!
Online Learning Days
With all the cold temperatures lately, there is always a risk of school closures due to weather. If school is closed, your children will participate in online learning days in lieu of making up the missed days. You can expect communication from your child's teacher via email, and all assignments will be given through itslearning. Please let teachers know if you have any questions about this!

Love of Reading Month at Matt
February is Love of Reading Month at Matt. So often, the joy of reading is missing in schools due to homework, schoolwork, and seeing reading as a "have to". In February, we are changing that! We want the Matt community to spark a love of reading and read for the joy of reading.
We will have several events throughout the month here at school, and would love for you to spark the love of reading at home, too!
