Principal's Note
Parents, Families, Guardians:
Big news this week everyone! It is teacher and staff appreciation week! The BEST gift of all would be to see all of you! We've put together a reverse parade to take place on Friday between the hour of 4pm-5pm. Teachers and staff will practice safe social distancing, but will be there to say hello and see your lovely faces as you walk or drive-thru the side parking lot. Please enter from East Avenue.
Chick-Fil-A and River Glen are sponsoring a free dinner for all of our families as well! The last stop to the "parade" route will be a chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A to take as you drive or walk through our Whittier parade!! There will be treat bags for each family too.... some have an "extra" surprise inside!! :)
Teachers and staff will be making signs and we encourage you to do the same! You can show them off as you walk or drive through on Friday!! Looking forward to seeing all of you!!
Put it on your calendar! :)
Date: Friday, May 8th
Time: Between 4pm-5pm
What: A chance to see you!!
Where: Side parking lot, enter from East Avenue
Extra Perks: Dinner provided from Chick-Fil-A on your way out & a treat bag for every family!
Can't wait to see you! We are honored to work with your children everyday but we miss them a lot so come drive through if you can!

Elementary Letter to Families & Clarification of Fridays!
The below PDF was sent to all of your emails listed in IC on Monday morning. Click below if you missed it.
I wanted to clarify some misconceptions about Fridays. We will NOT be pushing any new content out on Fridays to allow for a catch-up day during the week. This isn't a day off, teachers will continue to provide fun Friday activities for all kids including social-emotional learning. If you have questions, please ask!
