We've had a wonderful few weeks with your children. It's been a great start to a successful year. The staff and myself are taking advantage of new beginnings and are encouraging our students to reach their fullest potential.
We appreciate your continued support in the following:
- Making sure your child arrives on time and attends daily.
- Completing all classwork and homework assignments.
- Promoting a love for reading!
Don't forget Curriculum Night! We look forward to meeting all our Wild Cat Families.......

From Our Social Worker
- Kiddos should be ready for bed anytime between 8:30-9PM.
- Using the same sleep and wakeup time and routines ensure that our bodies get enough rest to function throughout the day.
- Electronics, including phones, tablets and TVs, should be off and tucked away at night. These distractions can keep us awake and impact the quality of our sleep. If noise helps you sleep, a noise machine or fan can do the trick!
- Limit sugary snacks or heavy treats right before bed. These can give us a surge of energy making it hard to fall asleep.
