BOOK FAIR
We need your help to make the Book Fair a success! Please sign up here to help:
Shifts are 1-2 hours, and we will show you how to use the registers (they are super easy!) Plus, all volunteers receive a 20% discount off their purchases. Younger siblings are welcome to join you, as long as they will not be a distraction :)
SIX FLAGS READ TO SUCCEED
Read to Succeed is an exciting program for schools that encourages students in grades K through 6 to read for fun.
Read to Succeed is a free program sponsored by Six Flags Theme Parks. Every student who completes six hours of recreational reading before the school’s deadline is eligible for a free admission ticket, valid at the participating Six Flags Theme Park that the school has selected.

WONDERING IF YOU QUALIFY FOR FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH?

Word of the Week!
FIELD TRIP PERMISSION SLIPS & PAYMENT
This year, you will not be seeing a permission come home to be signed for your child as this was part of your online registration process. You signed a permission slip online to blanket all field trips for the school year.
For payment, we have grouped all payments into one lump sum to cover the cost of all trips this year (please note, these are subject to change at any time and additional charges may apply). These payments would have been made during the registration process as well. Please check your Family Access to see if payment is still due.
