Morning Drop-Off
We have had a large group of students waiting at the doors unsupervised. This is dangerous!
Thank you for keeping your students in the car with you until you see Safety Patrol and staff!
Upcoming Events
As a reminder, any visitor (parents included) must show a government-issued photo id to enter the school. Thank you for having yours ready each time you come to school!

Halloween Parade and Parties

If you would like to attend the classroom party, you can show your photo id, check in and get a visitor badge before the parade to assist in getting to classroom parties faster. After getting the visitor badge, parents will move to the parade route. The office will begin this process at 2:10pm.

Celebrating Birthdays with a Book for Home!
We received a BVEF grant from the Tortoise Foundation (donor named David Brown who is a BVEF board member).
Being surrounded by lots and lots of books where they live helps children build vocabulary, increase awareness and comprehension, and expand horizons — all benefiting them in adulthood. Connecting kids with books they will love is one of the most fun challenges we have as parents of emerging readers, and can be integral in creating life-long readers.
