The district is surveying stakeholders to see how we can improve. 4th and 5th grade students will take the survey. We would love to get as many responses as possible. If for some reason you DO NOT want your scholar to participate in the survey, please fill out the paper that is coming home today, and return it to school. If you would like your scholar to complete the survey, you can throw the paper away. :) If you have any questions, please reach out. Thank you!

Hello Parents and Guardians,

We would like to inform you that the school will not be hosting holiday lunches this year. Unfortunately, we were unable to secure an adequate supply of turkey and related items necessary to hold the event.

Families are still welcome to join their students for lunch on any regular school day! Adult lunches are available for $5.00, or visitors may bring their own meal to enjoy with their scholar.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Thank you for your continued support of our school community.

Dr. Porter

We are excited for tomorrow!
