Principal Update
Hi Reptile Families,
It's hard to believe we are getting close to the end of Quarter 1. I am so appreciative of all the support from all our families in helping to keep our campus safe. It takes all of us working together to make that happen.
Thank you for the many families that joined us for Title I information meeting, PTA General Assembly, and Open House. If you missed the event, each grade level team recorded their sessions. Please reach out to your child's teacher for this information.
The school hours are 9:40-3:50. Arrival begins at 9:20 and a student is marked absent if they arrive after 9:40. Please help your child to arrive to school on time. Every minute in your child's day is very important.
Report cards will be available to parents on the Parent Portal! Please make sure you have access to your child’s report card. If you need assistance, please feel free to call the front office.
This month we will be kicking off our Pasco Science and Engineering Showcase projects for our 3rd-5th grade students. Join using during the week of October 4th-8th to dress up. See below for the details on each day's theme.
The end of October has a few fun events. Please join us on October 29th for Trunk or Treat. A flier will be coming home next week with more information. October 25th-29th is Red Ribbon week. See below for the dress up choices for each day. On October 29th, your child may dress up as a good character.
Thank you for your continued support,
Colleen Wilkinson
