Teacher Appreciation Week:
We also need to send a giant shout out to Mrs. Campbell who spearheaded Teacher Appreciation Week from the PTO. Thank you to our PTO and all of our parents who supported our staff this past week! The treats, lunch, and words of thanks were much appreciated!
Kindergarten Round Up:
Attention Parents of our incoming Kindergarten students... if you have registered your child for kindergarten, we will be holding our Kindergarten Roundup on Monday & Tuesday, June 6th & 7th. Shortly, you will be receiving an email from Blackboard with a sign-up genius link where you will be able to pick your date and time to attend the roundup. The roundup will last approximately an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half. During their time here, students will participate in a variety of activities which will help us to learn more about them as students and individuals.
While the students are off having fun, the parents will be meeting with Mrs. Keiser, Mr. Perruso, Mrs. McCool, and Nurse Ewer so that we can provide you with an overview of Kindergarten and additional information you may need as your child embarks on his/her journey into education! We are looking forward to seeing you.
More information will be coming out shortly!
