Dear families,
Spring has sprung and excitement is in the air! As a parent myself, I understand the busyness of spring with all the end of year happenings, celebrations, sporting events, and so much more to juggle as a family! So, in effort to keep you well informed, organized, planned out, engaged, and in the know of all things happening at school, please read below and feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions!
Thanks for sharing your child(ren) with us and helping us finish the school year strong and connected!
Sincerely,
Dr. April Hawkins

Hot tips from Dr. Hawkins- Please be sure your child(ren) come to school with sun block on (K & 1st graders if necessary) or for 2nd and third graders, have some available to put on in the afternoon if you deem appropriate for your child. A few other items you might want to make sure your children have for field day are as follows:
- towel
- change of clothes (We will have water events)
- water bottle
