Message from the Principal

Dear Carlton Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful week-long break! I want to start by thanking third grade and second grade parents for the wonderful Treat Days for the Carlton staff. We truly appreciate the delicious food and all the time and energy it takes to provide food for such a large staff.


Thursday, March 2nd to Friday, March 10th, 1st-5th grade classes will be dismissed at 1:15 and K/TK classes will be dismissed at 1:05 due to Parent Teacher Conferences. Conferences are optional. Please contact your child's teacher if you would like to attend a conference. This is a great opportunity to talk with your child's teacher if you have concerns about your child's progress. Also, please let your child's teacher know if you want a translator.

John Watson Memorial Basketball Tournament Begins This Week

John Watson Memorial Basketball Tournament Begins This Week

March Madness starts this week at Carlton. Students who signed up have been placed on teams. Since students have varying experience levels, the referees will not blow their whistles every time they travel or double dribble, especially during the 1st-2nd grade games. The purpose is to have fun, encourage students to play basketball, and practice good sportsmanship. The games are 15 minutes long. If a team wins then the team will get to play another game. All spectators are expected to be respectful, 100% positive, and encouraging because some students are playing basketball for the first time in their life. Here's the schedule: https://sites.google.com/site/carltonbasketball/. (Games may be postponed if it rains. Keep checking the website.)
