A Message from Mrs. Engle
What an awesome start to the school year it has has been! Our students are so excited to be back and I couldn’t be prouder of the tremendous job our staff has done putting their best foot forward to start the school year. I know I’m looking forward to a an awesome school year and look getting to know all of our new families! As you think about the first day moments with your child, I hope you’ll remember their first impressions, the excitement in their eyes, and all of the great things they experienced during their first day. These memories should be treasured! I really enjoyed seeing so many parents taking their first day pics and helping make the first day of school special. We attempted to put several pictures on our Facebook page so all parents could see the awesome day taking place. As we begin our new school year, please remember our mission statement is “Excellence is our plan, by learning all we can!"

Changing the Way Your Child Goes Home
Just a reminder, the office will NOT make any changes after 2:00 pm in the way your child goes home. For the safety of your child, it is helpful if you send a note to school, with your child, so we can notify the teacher promptly of this change. Please call before 2:00 if you need to make a change. Please be reminded that the Bus Barn will no longer make any changes after 2:00 pm. We appreciate your help with this issue!
Homework Information
Homework is an important part of practice in the learning process! Each grade level has required reading minutes each evening and some math practice. Please be sure and check with your child on their daily homework assignments. Grades 3-5 will have a Daily Planner with their assignments noted. Each week, a folder will be sent home for parents to review completed work and re-do's. Our teachers are asking that you sign off, each week, inside the folder so they know you are aware of completed work and any concerns. Thank you for helping support our staff!
