Message From the Principal:
Learning happens every day at our school. An important skill for learning is focusing attention. When we focus our attention we use our ears, our eyes, and our brain! This week, our students will put on their attent-o-scopes and notice how they help us listen and learn. Please tell your child’s teacher if you’d like more suggestions about supporting skills for learning at home.
I hope everyone has a super weekend & enjoys the cooler temps!
Thank you,
Keegan Luedecke
Principal

Message from Ms. Lei:
We no longer use School Dismissal Manager. We use the Smart Tag parent portal for dismissal now. You can also use it to inform us if your student will be absent or if you need to change dismissal on any particular day.

P.S. I love Kit-Kats. A lot.
