From the Principal...Kristy McKnight
Thank you for joining us during our Open Houses this week. We are so glad you had the opportunity to see your child's classroom and the building.
Conferences are Thursday, October 7th and Friday, October 8th. Conferences will be offered both in-person and virtually so that you can choose the best option for your family. Scheduling is done via Home Access Center and is accessible now. You can find specific directions for reserving a conference time here. The conference scheduler will be open through October 4th. For those selecting in-person conferences, masks need to be worn while in the building.
Enjoy your weekend,

Spirit Wear Update
Due to nationwide supply shortages, our Spirit Wear order delivery has been delayed. Our vendor is working to wrap up our order as quickly as possible. We will provide an update in the next two weeks with a delivery ETA. Once our order is fulfilled, items will be sent home in backpacks with your student.
If you have question or concerns, please email kerrie.israelson@gmail.com
