~ Message from Ms. Triplett ~
Wrangler Families,
What an amazing first Pep Rally! It was great to have all our students together celebrating the start of a wonderful year. Looking to this week, there is no school on Wednesday. As a reminder, parent teacher conferences will be the week of October 10th. ALL students will be dismissed at 12:30pm that week. Your child's teacher will be contacting you regarding your conference time.
All of our specialists have begun and exciting things are happening! Be sure to ask your child what they did in Makerspace and Art this week! Reading T-shirts came home today. If you are still interested in purchasing a reading shirt, we have a limited number of shirts available for purchase in the office.
We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Happy Trails!

Minimizing Classroom Interruptions!
Lunches and Forgotten Items from Home
In order to minimize classroom interruptions, we have implemented procedures with forgotten items. We are receiving a large amount of deliveries for lunches, instruments, water bottles, library books, clothing and backpacks. Please encourage your students to be prepared and check for their belongings before leaving your house. We appreciate your support!
- Lunches
Please note that lunches for grades 1-5 that are delivered to the school will be placed on the table outside of the cafeteria. Students should collect them from the table. They will not be delivered to the classroom.
Lunches for TK and Kindergarten will be delivered to the classroom until the end of October and then after October will be taken to the cafeteria.
- Instruments
Forgotten Instruments will be kept in the front office. Students can come to the front to see if their parent has dropped it off.
- Messages to students
If you need to get a message to your student during the day, please contact the teacher directly.
