Children will NOT be permitted to leave with a guest if they do not have a signed permission form returned.
The 2024-2025 Preschool and Kindergarten registration nights are coming up! Mark your calendars and make sure to bring along any required documents for registering your child.

Paint Splatter Project
Over the next couple of weeks, students will be working on a project for their spring music concert. Each class will be working with splatter paint; we will be taking precautions to prevent their clothes from getting messy, however, you may want to not send your child to school in their best clothes that day. There is still a chance paint could get on their clothes and we would hate to ruin something. Classes will work on this project after 2:00 on their scheduled day - here are the days your child will be doing the project:
5th grade - Wednesday, April 17th
Kindergarten - Thursday, April 18th
3rd grade - Monday, April 22nd
2nd grade - Tuesday, April 23rd
4th grade - Wednesday, April 24th
1st grade - Thursday, April 25th
Calling all Grandparents!
We would like to extend an invitation to all grandparents to join us at 2:00pm on the afternoon of Friday, April 19th! If a grandparent is unable to attend, a neighbor or special friend is also welcome to take their place. There will be no program in the gym, so there is no need to arrive early for a seat; guests will go directly to classrooms at 2:00pm.
Let’s turn playground dreams into a reality!
Our elementary school is in the final phase of raising funds to transform our playground into a safe, inclusive space for all students. With your help, we’ll install accessible equipment and create opportunities for outdoor physical activity essential for children’s development. Donations can be made in person on Grandparents Day OR online during Go Big Give on May 2nd!
