Transportation Changes
If you need to make a transportation change for your student, it must be communicated to the office and the Transportation Department before 1 p.m. The end of the day is very hectic at an elementary school and messages are not always able to get to teachers after 1 pm.
Thank you for being so understanding in this situation!

Speech Universal Screening

If you would like your child to have a speech screening completed, please sign the consent form and send back to your child's teacher.

Building Expectations
As part of our building expectations, students earn Panther Paws throughout the day when they are following their ROARS and Volume Level Expectations. Each week we focus on a different area of the building. This week we will be focusing on "Movin' On Up" day for our Kindergarten students to Hillcrest next year.
At the end of the week, Mrs. Hancock and Sunny complete a Panther Paw drawing. A student from each classroom is drawn as the Panther Paw student of the week and they are able to choose a prize from Mrs. Hancock's prize box.
