Star Parents,
Happy Valentine's Day! Our students had so much fun at our Friendship Party today! Thanks so much for making it so special.
Important Information
Picture Day:
- Tomorrow is Picture Day! Children will take a class picture as well as an individual picture. Please be sure to turn in your form if you are interested in ordering a class picture. It's always a fun way to remember our friends from Kindergarten.
Holifield Science Learning Center:
- Kindergarten will be going to the Holifield Science Learning Center on Wednesday, February 20th. We will leave Skaggs at 11:15 and return to school at 2:15. We will be eating lunch at 10:45, so please make sure your child's lunch is in the red crate by 10:40. Please have your child wear long pants or jeans, socks, and closed-toe shoes. Part of our field trip will be spent outdoors walking on trails, so please have your child dress accordingly to the weather. Please have your child wear a coat, gloves, and a hat if it is cold.
Talent Show:
- We will have a talent show on Friday, March 8th during Specials. We would love for our Kindergarten students to participate. Your child is welcome to play an instrument, sing, tell a joke, share a piece of art work, do gymnastics, dance, share a trick, etc.
Refurbishment Update:
- We are excited to let you know about our refurbishment that we will be going through soon. This is such great news because we will be getting new flooring, bathroom areas, lockers, paint, furniture, and much more. In order for all of this to be done before the beginning of next school year, we are starting construction this coming weekend. The construction will begin in the fifth grade area. We are fortunate to be able to temporarily house the fifth grade students in the empty classrooms in our second and third grade pods. Fourth grade will follow the same pattern once fifth grade is done. Fourth, fifth, and PACE classes are the only ones affected during the school year. We are delighted that our children will get to experience the “new” building soon.Please know that we are prioritizing instruction during school. You may see boxes on the Open House/Big Art Day, but please know that we are not interrupting instruction due to the move. We are thrilled to see the building transforming to be new and improved!
