Kid Heart Challenge
I am pleased to announce that we raised $8,771.95 for the American Heart Association through the Kids Heart Challenge. We are 1st in the district for money raised! What an enormous feat for our small school, and of course, we couldn't have done it without everyone's help! Way to go, heart heroes!! All donations have been submitted and prizes will be going out soon. Some prizes may be on back order & could take 4-6 weeks to come in. Please be patient and we'll get those to their owners as soon as we can.
Again, great job Leopards!!

Book Fair Information:
Our fall book fair was a sales only book fair, but this book fair is also a fundraiser for our school’s library and teacher classrooms. All purchases will participate in the “round up for books” program which will fund books for teachers’ classrooms. This means that we will round all purchases up to the next dollar. A purchase of 10.12 will be 11.00 and a purchase of 10.78 will be 11.00.
Some school supplies will require a separate purchase. These school supplies are separate from Scholastic and will not be available on eWallet.
eWallet is convenient, but is not “live,” therefore the volunteers running the fair cannot know how much money is left on any student’s eWallet. Scholastic has your card information and if your child spends over the amount you set - they will charge the card you set up. Keep in mind that you don’t get unspent money back, but it will still be there for book fairs in the future.
Late Arrival Procedures
Please be reminded that instruction time begins at 8:00 am.
When arriving at school after 8:00 am and no adult is on duty in the carpool loop, please park your vehicle and walk your child into the front office. This is for your child's supervision and safety. Thank you in advance for your support in this matter!
- Tardies begin at 8:10am. An adult will need to sign the student in at this time.
Excessive tardies will be reviewed under the choice option for attendance to a magnet program.
