Next Year~
As we learn more about our District's “Road to Re-Opening Our Schools,” we will keep you well informed. The District is working diligently on our re-opening plan and we will share it with our families in the coming weeks.
Please do not get too caught up in what you are seeing in the news about "what school COULD look like." There are so many moving pieces right now and things are changing daily. Our District is committed to doing what is best our children.
We need to take a moment to celebrate how our community came together in a crisis, rose to the challenge and did an absolutely AMAZING job!
We learned how to fly a plane while building it!
We championed through difficult barriers to provide our Wildcats stability, structure and kept them connected and learning.
This week we are faced with bittersweet goodbyes and transitions without our traditional wildly fun Wildcat celebrations that leave us exhausted and yet so insanely happy (and sometimes a little sunburnt)!
As we shift into summer, the uncertainty looms for 'what's next' and 'what’s it going to look like'?
We don't have a crystal ball to tell us what school is going to look like in August.
It cannot be solved today...
It cannot be solved tomorrow...
We will not even be able to see all the variables for a few more weeks.
Trust that together we will solve it when we can see the pieces.
Trust that it will shift again and we will solve it again.
All I know is---I love being part of this Wildcat community and we will figure this out together because we are Wildcat Strong!
Preparing for ACE Drop Off and Pick Up Days

Out of respect for their countless hours of work, please refrain from posting negative comments on social media about the yearbooks not arriving.

ATTENTION 5th GRADE PARENTS!
Dear Parents of our Awesome 5th Graders,
This is such a bittersweet time for all of us. We are so incredibly proud of our amazing fifth graders, and they are ready to promote to middle school, yet it is so hard to say goodbye to them.
Lawn Signs:
We need your help on a TOP SECRET mission on Wednesday evening. Our rockstar PTA has purchased congratulatory lawn signs for all of our 5th graders to celebrate their promotion. The signs are not expected to arrive until Wednesday afternoon. We are asking parents to please pick up the signs on Wednesday evening at the address we emailed you.
We want to maintain social distancing and safety during the sign pick up.
· Last name A – J: Please plan to pick up your signs at 6:45PM
· Last name K – S: Please plan to pick up your signs at 7:15PM
· Last name T – Z: Please plan to pick up your signs at 7:45PM.
5th Grade Award Assembly: Thursday 8:30AM
Please plan to login with your 5th graders on Thursday morning at 8:30AM to Web Ex for our 5th Grade Virtual Award Assembly.
The actual certificates will be distributed during next week’s drop off and pick up event at ACE. Please do NOT let your child know if they are getting a special award. YOU will get to present it to them, in your home, while you watch the award assembly virtually.
Yearbooks:
We will contact you as soon as the yearbooks are delivered. In the meantime, please encourage your Wildcat to post a end of the year message to their classmates on Flip Grid for virtual yearbook signing. Link: https://flipgrid.com/aderman4276
For the families that are moving on to middle school, we wish you all the very best and hope you keep in touch. We thank you for your support and participation in our amazing school. Thank you for attending events, chaperoning field trips, helping on campus, and supporting our fundraisers. We appreciate you!
