Weekly Update
Students have recently started new units in reading, writing, and math. It has been fun to see students learning and engaging in new content. Ask your about something new they've learned at school this week!
We are seeing an increase in students bringing toys to school. Toys get traded, broken, and this can lead to conflict when they come to school Please help us by keeping toys, including Pokemon cards, toy cars, and individual footballs or basketballs at home.
Yearbook Cover Challenge
Students can draw a cover for this year's yearbook. Entries are due on February 17th.
