Picture Day --- You can still order pictures
Picture day was Thursday, September 16th. All students were photographed, so if you changed your mind about ordering, you may still order online.
Go to mylifetouch.com and enter the Picture ID code: EVTF47PQW
Thanks to Mrs. Murrow and Mrs. Hunt who were our parent volunteers to assist us with picture day. Any parents that would like to help with Spring Pictures (Friday, February 4th) please contact a PTO Officer with your interest. Clearances must be complete to help.

The First 4 Weeks of School
Shortly, we will be putting in place our ROAR periods that will provide supports to students in order to continue to make academic progress. We have completed benchmarking and some diagnostic testing in order to determine small groups and the evidence-based interventions to help your child to grow and thrive.
I wish to express my gratitude toward our community for being supportive of our amazing teachers and valuing the in-person education we are providing. While there are many challenges, I am proud of what we have accomplished in 4 short weeks. We would not be the amazing school that we are without the help and support of all of you!
~Mrs. Hughes, Principal
Bus Reminders
As I begin to receive notifications of concerning behaviors happening on the bus, I believe you as the parent are your child's first teacher. For this reason, please review with your child the guiding principles established for riders:
- Keep noise at classroom level
- Keep head, hands, and objects inside the bus
- Respect the rights and property of others
- Obey the driver promptly and respectfully
- No throwing or passing objects allowed on, from, or into the bus
PTO - Event Planners and Helpers Needed
Fall Fest - Thursday October 14th --- Need volunteers (thanks to the parents that volunteered to plan the event)
Santa Shop - Thursday, December 2nd --- Need event planner and volunteers
Color Fun Run Spring 2022 --- Either April 30th or May 21st --- Need event planner and volunteers
Hybrid / Hybrid Closure / Hybrid Quarantine --- Friendly 2nd reminder
Unexcused days will be given for work not completed. Weather related days are counted as a school day, which allows the district to end the school year earlier and not into the summer months. Holidays are the exception. No work is expected on holiday breaks.
Please refer to information shared at the start of the school year such as:
* Hybrid letters shared (whether hybrid/quarantine/or hybrid closure)
* Closure letter for a Lions Virtual Learning Day
* Meet the Teacher Night information shared by teachers
* Verbal / daily directions given to students.
Teachers do communicate with students daily and have them get onto Google Classroom or Seesaw, etc. to do work. Students are aware that work is expected to be complete during closure/hybrid days. Teachers also reach out to parents and the students via email on any form of hybrid day. Work is always there for students to do on their devices whether being Seesaw, Google Classroom, or the format your child's teacher uses.
Parents that do not have wifi/internet, or have any device problems are expected to contact the teacher on the day of the absence - not after the child has returned to school with work incomplete.
Parents wanting more information on how to check progress of their child's assignments, please contact your child's homeroom teacher.
