Principal Message

I can't believe it's over already. What an incredible year we had! It was wonderful having all students back in the building and being a little closer to normal life. Thank you families for a great year and we can't wait to see you August 15, 2022.

Summer Learning

Just because school is out doesn't mean that learning has to stop! :)


Each student was sent home with our summer reading book "Wink" by Rob Harrell and a workbook to practice reading, writing and math skills. Recognition will be given to students who completed the workbook and we will discuss the book as a school in August.


If you are an incoming 6th grade family your 5th grade teacher should have provided you with these items before you left.
