Principal's Message
Parents we want to share a few reminders on how you can help us better serve your child. Please join us Tuesday for the PTA Meeting. We will have a special presentation on how you can continue learning at home. This presentation is a part of our Homework Policy Revisit for this school year.
We also ask that you continue to have conversations with your children about the importance of coming to school ready to learn each day. Remember breakfast is provided to all students daily at no cost. You can help us by ensuring your child gets a good night’s rest each night.
Please ensure you are reading the grade level S’More Newsletters that are sent home bi-monthly and feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. If your family has not completed the FARM Application, please do so soon. Remember all information is kept confidential.
We continue in gratitude at the opportunity to serve your family.
In Service,
P. Barnes
Thank you to the PTA!
