Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow
Are you planning a family trip for the holidays? As you think about your arrangements, we want to stress the importance of sending your child to school every day possible. Every year, absences spike in the weeks before and after the winter holiday as families squeeze in a few more vacation days. It’s time to break that cycle. We know that just a few missed days here and there, even if they’re excused absences, can add up to too much lost learning time and put your child behind in school.
We recognize that holidays are an important time for reconnecting with families far away. The costs of plane tickets often influence when you want to travel. But keep in mind the costs to your children’s education if they miss too much school— and the message you will be sending about the importance of attendance. Even if you’ve got a homework packet from the teacher, it doesn’t make up for the interaction and learning that happens in the classroom. Our teachers will be teaching, and our students will be learning, right up until vacation starts and the first day back. You can help us convey that message. This holiday season; give your children the gift of an education and the habit of attendance.

Spring Registration for Chess Club
We invite you to check out The Knight School! Use the link below to reserve your child’s space in the class before it fills for this upcoming Spring session!
The Knight School is the chess party for the well-rounded kids of America. Unlike your typical chess program, our primary focuses are good sportsmanship and fun. That being the case, our students continue to win state championships year after year. Join The Knight School chess party and give your child the gift of undeniable academic confidence, amazing chess friends, a self-identity as a smart kid, and a weekly dose of childhood joy that is the highlight of their week!
Character Trait Kindness
During the month of December we have been focusing on the character trait Kindness. Kindness is showing concern about the well-being and feelings of others. The character trait Kindness is being discussed during the morning announcements and the second, third and fourth grade students wrote examples of Kindness on the hand cutouts that are displayed on the Kind bulletin board.
