Student Safety Reminders
- Please use the car rider line (rather than parking out back) when dropping off/picking up your students by car.
- While picking up/dropping off your student in the car rider line; please stay in your vehicle. Staff members will assist your student to/from the vehicle safely.
- Please only drive in the appropriate parking lot lane, as trying to drive into the lanes where cars are exiting is unsafe.
- If you have walked to the back of the school to pick up your students, please wait in the grassy area by the tree to receive them. There are many students exiting the building at dismissal and we need for everyone to be able to walk out the school doors safely.
- We are all excited for the opening of the new section of the playground, but in order for all students to stay safe, we need for ALL STUDENTS & FAMILIES to exit the playground and school grounds at dismissal. You may return after 3:05pm if you would like to use the playground after school hours.

Title I Information
Title I, Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA), provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. Our school receives Title IA funding.
Parents/families of students in our building have a right to know about teacher qualifications and state-mandated assessments. In addition to being linked here, these documents are available on the Title IA page of our school website.
Counselor's Corner
A great way to develop gratitude alongside your child is by using the GLAD method. Check out this resource for step-by-step instructions on the GLAD process that can be done at the dinner table or at bedtime.
