Mrs. Hippner's 1st grade Scientists! It was great to be in Mrs. Hippner's first grade class to see our first grade scientists. They were true professionals. | Science tools. In Mrs. Hippner's class they were studying about science tools and exploring how to use the tools. I observed many groups of students exploring and describing how to use the tools. | Checking your student in late / out early Procedure: If you need to check your student in late or take them out early before dismissal please park and come into the office to sign them in/out. Parents please remember, students should not be signed out after 2 pm on a regular day, this helps with less disruption in the classroom near the end of the day and also helps with traffic congestion. |
