Principal's Message
Greetings from the Principal's Office
On Thursday we celebrated the 100th day of school! It's been a wonderful 100 days, and your students are definitely 100 days smarter!!! Students enjoyed many activities centered around 100. Our favorites- the HUNDREDS of hugs we received that day!
Next Thursday, January 25th, our students will be participating in a "Run, Hide, Fight" drill. During this time, students will receive information about how to handle themselves in the event of an emergency lock down. They will also be practicing classroom procedures. While we most likely will never have to encounter this situation, it is good to always be prepared. I encourage you to talk with your child about their experience, as they may have questions. However, please know that we will present this information in the most kid-friendly way. Your child's safety is our number one priority.
We are excited to announce that this week we began a new recognition program for our students. Each teacher selected a student that has demonstrated great effort in class and met personal goals. These students were named, "Little Giant of the Week." It was such a joy to see their smiling faces as they came to the office and received their prizes. We will continue this recognition weekly.
Love,
Mrs. Hansell

2018 Choice Application Information & Changes
The choice application period for the 2018-2019 school year will be open January 29, 2018 through February 23, 2018. Application timelines were altered this year in order to confirm transportation tiers for the 2018-2019 school year so that parents can make informed decisions. Another important change for the 2018-2019, is the offering of a very limited choice application pilot (20 spots) for incoming Kindergarten students per Kindergarten Academy. This limited choice pilot for Kindergarten will not include transportation. In order to process these incoming Kindergarten limited choice applications, the student must be registered for Kindergarten at their home Kindergarten Academy. Applications and instructions will be available through our website under the “For Parents” tab as well as each elementary school. Please read the instructions and complete the application as directed.
