If you are NOT attending your school's photo day or that day has already passed and you would like your child's photo taken for the yearbook and other school needs, please sign up for a time slot on Oct. 20. We have limited space at each time slot, so you need to register for one. You will need to sign up each child separately so we know exactly who is coming and limit it to 15 per time slot.

K-5th: Have a dedicated work space for your child that is quiet, organized, and allows him/her to be comfortable and focused.
- Utilize a notebook/folder or place for organizing materials for each subject.
- Let your child take a break as needed to refresh their thought process and focus.
- Focus on at least one win each day. Stay positive!
