Kindergarten registration for the 23-24 school year is open! Please help us spread the word with our neighbors and community to register students now.
We are excited that we have our STEAM into Kindergarten event on Thursday, March 2! Lots of parents will register for kindergarten after this event, but we need to have more students register before the event this year.
If you have an upcoming kindergarten student, please tap the graphic below to register. If you know of anyone that has a student that needs to enroll please pass this information along to them.
Please call the office if you have any questions. We are happy to assist with enrollment! We are also happy to schedule a tour for you that works for your schedule. Come in and see all that we have to offer!
We cannot wait to meet our incoming kindergarten students!

Hello Families,
The motto this week is:
Our school aides and recess monitors teach us because they care about us.
Why do we ask our children (over and over) to look both ways before crossing the street, to eat their vegetables, or turn off their lights and go to sleep? The reason is we care. Our children may not always perceive it that way, but it is true. It’s easy to let them eat what they want or stay up as late as they wish, but we know these aren’t good choices, and we care too much to let them hurt themselves.
We get involved because we care, not because we don’t. Indifference is uncaring. The same is true at school. Teachers and aides may remind students to be quiet in the hall when passing by other classrooms or to walk rather than run through campus. They don’t do this to diminish student experiences in school but to enhance them by ensuring classroom learning isn’t interrupted by outside noise and that everyone can move safely through school.
As parents, it’s not fun to ask our kids to stop playing video games to finish their homework, just as it isn’t fun for our recess monitors to ask students to walk rather than run in the hall, but we do it because we care, not because we don’t.
After all, safety doesn’t happen by accident.
Take care,
Danna Evans
