Fifth Grade Promotion
We also want to be able to honor our own 5th graders who will be moving on to sixth grade! Our plans include creating a promotion ceremony in video that will be shared (through a Smore Newsletter) with our 5th-grade students and their families on Thursday, June 18 at 9:30 am. If you have a 5th grader, visit Mrs. Kile and Mr. Rushworth's newsletters for directions and deadlines for submitting photos and the opportunity to submit a video clip.
Check out this newsletter for Art, Media, Music, and Physical Education opportunities for your child and messages from our teachers.
We will be available via email to answer and respond to questions and concerns. Although staff may be available outside of these times, please be aware that responses to any communications received outside of these hours may be delayed. Thank you!
