Blue Jay Attendance
Congratulations to Mrs. Church's class for having the highest attendance percentage (96.71%) for grades K-2 and Mr. Elmore's class (97.36) for having the highest attendance percentages this month for grades 3-5. Also want to recognize Mrs. Lane's class for coming in as a close 2nd place in grades 3-5 with 97.32%! Great job to all!
Don't forget that we will continue to have those surprise Blue Jay Attendance Days every month through the rest of the year! Don't let your kid miss it if at all possible! In December, students recieved pop it key chains if they were present that day! They loved it!

Would you be willing to donate some items to your child's teacher?
We have several teachers who need tissues and snacks (for when students forget to bring one). A few of them could also use some clorox wipes. If you are willing and able to donate, we would really appreciate it! You can send items directly to your student's teacher(s) or to the office to be distributed.
