Dear Students & Parents,
We are entering Trimester 3! Can you believe it? Spring has sprung!
Report cards went home with your students on Friday, March 22nd. I encourage families to sit down with your students,, review their progress and set goals for the 3rd trimester. Please reach out to your students teacher should you have any questions about how to support your students in any academic area.
Thank you to our 2nd grade for putting on an awesome Earth Day spirit assembly. Educating us all on how we can recycle, reduce, and reuse to help improve our planet for generations to come! Also, a special thank you to our PTS for putting on the Taiko Drum Assembly. The staff and students enjoyed it and it was a great use of our outdoor classroom.
Please continue to check the lost and found. ALL items left on March 28th will be donated.
Go Cubs!
