Scholastic Book Fair - September 17-21
We are excited to have our fall Scholastic Book Fair the week of September 17-21. This is a great opportunity to purchase some inexpensive books to add to your child's home library. We will be setting up books in both schools for this event. The Fair will run Monday through Friday that week from 3:45-6:00 p.m. each evening.
Back to School Sock Hop - September 21
We are excited about our Back to School Dance on Friday, September 21st for our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students! We are having a sock hop and look forward to a wonderful evening of 50's style fun, dinner, dessert, and dancing! Tickets are $10/student and can be purchased in the office until next Wednesday, September 19th.

Health Screenings - October 4th
Please note that we will be sending home information next week to sign up for health screening on October 4th. These are required screenings and must be either done here or documentation from your child's physician, which would need to be on file prior to October 4th.
Mandatory Screenings:
Need Vision and Hearing Screenings:
- Pre-K
- Kindergarten
Need Vision, Hearing and Diabetes/AN Screenings:
- 1st, 3rd, 5th, and any new students in 2nd, 4th, and 6th grades

Parenting Resources - Free Play
The research is showing that our children need to experience more free play to help them to grow and develop, so take some time this weekend away from laundry, grocery shopping, and other household chores, and just play!
