Please have students to school on time. Make sure students leave all electronics at home. Make sure students dress comfortably. Make sure students eat a good breakfast. In order to provide the best environment NO parents/volunteers in the building for all grade levels during testing on May 9 and 10 - SC READY ELA Day #1 and #2. Please check your child's teacher's website for the exact dates for the remainder of testing. We will also need help on the week of May 21 - 25 providing a silent lunch until testing is complete. We will also be using the media center for testing May 21-25.
Summer Gardening Help
Summer Gardening Help Needed!! Our butterfly and vegetable gardens need some special families to volunteer to maintain them this summer. It's very simple to help...volunteer for a one week period, and then stop by twice that week to pull some weeds. We have a watering system, so that's taken care of. All the supplies you'll need (gloves and shovels) will be in a box ready to go so you and your family can come at your convenience. If you can help, please click the link below and sign up! Thank you so much for volunteering! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa4ad22a2fb6-summer
