Dismissal Update
For week one, we started our dismissal routines at 2:35. As students get more comfortable with the routines, we will be maximizing our instructional time and move our routines closer to 2:45.
Simply stated, car line will not start before 2:45 so PLEASE do not arrive before then. Everyone has seen how smoothly it ran so trust us in that you will move through quickly.

The Power of A Garden
The staff garden was planted this summer with the help of our outstanding custodian, Miss Julie. Our faculty and students are already harvesting it's benefits!
5th grader Emmett found a praying mantis within minutes of walking outside. 2nd graders, Bode and and Gunnar, helped to water the garden and found two tomatoes ready to be eaten!
