  • PLEASE NOTE: If you have not visited our campus this year, your ID will need to be scanned upon arrival. If we do not receive your RSVP, or if we are unable to preregister you, checking in to the front office takes a few minutes per person so please plan accordingly.

Fifth Grade End of Year Breakfast

Hello 5th Grade Parents!


As we begin to wrap up the school year, we wanted to keep you in the loop on a few things. Please take a moment to read all of this, as there is a lot going on.


The Fifth Grade End of Year Breakfast will be the morning of May 26 from 9:30-11 a.m and parents are welcome to attend! Please make sure to RSVP to assist the front office with security badges. Please see the RSVP link in the End Of Year Celebrations section above.


For one of the decorations, we are asking for a 4x6 printed kindergarten photo of each student for their place setting for the breakfast. Please get this sent in to your child’s teacher ASAP. We will also be sending out a SignUp Genius link for food signups in the next couple of weeks, as well as a separate note about the parent-sponsored pool party at the Bear Branch pool.


It’s going to be a fun end of the year!!


Thank you,


Ircka West and Brittani Toppass
