First Day Of School Notes
- Bus times will be off for a few days - be patient as they work on their routes.
- The morning drop-off line will take longer on the first few days.
- The afternoon car line WILL be slow for the first few days.
- On the first day of school, during the afternoon car line, we will check EVERY ID - even if we know you by name. This extends the time that it will normally take to get through the car line.
- Students are ONLY dismissed from the car line or buses. We do not dismiss students after 3:00 from the office.
- Parents are welcome to join us for Community Time. Community Time is where all students and teachers gather before heading to class. This is a great time for pictures and final good-byes.

What is The Leader In Me?
See this quick introduction from Dr. John and Jane Covey
Each new school year brings opportunities for academic growth and growth in all areas of development. Although children must be knowledgeable when they graduate, they must also be healthy, engaged, responsible, and caring people.
Leader in Me provides your school with the vision and language to lead the school in a way that addresses all areas of development. As each child discovers and develops his or her unique gifts and talents, they are given opportunities to lead. As leaders, they become active, engaged partners in their own education and their self-confidence, responsibility, and initiative grows. The children quickly understand the benefits of different gifts and talents; they learn to listen to new ideas, work together to achieve results, and motivate one another to be the best.
We hope your school enjoys sharing these new opportunities. Together, you will watch each and every child grow throughout the year.
