We are so excited to see you tomorrow Colts! Our teachers have been preparing and planning and they can't wait to see you. If you have not picked up your class placement, please stop by the office today to pick it up, we have lots of other information that will be helpful to you. If you have other plans for the school year, please contact our front office so we can update our records.
Our amazing staff has been working tirelessly to prepare to welcome back our students. While there are some differences and things may not be "normal", there are MANY things that will remain normal:
~ We will continue to learn
~ We will have fun
~ We will THRIVE
We are continuing to implement procedures that are new and different. As we smooth out the wrinkles in our procedures, we kindly ask that you:
~ Please be patient
~ Please be positive
~ Please be kind
Things may be bumpy and slow for the first few days- please roll with it and keep a positive outlook.
Wishing you a wonderful start to the school year!
