We are looking forward to a productive partnership with you this year to ensure our students can achieve their highest potential. We recognize that in order to be successful in school, our students need support from both the home and school. We know a strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our students’ successes and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities. Our Building Leadership Team built a resource document that focuses on Core Competencies in both Math and ELA (English Language Arts) and are focused on “I Can” statements to better communicate what your child should know when they are beginning or ending a school year. This resource is intended to stimulate conversation at home and strengthen the partnership between home and school.

We are looking forward to the many activities and learning opportunities that will be happening this year! Our staff is busy planning and preparing for your children and our first day of school is fast approaching. This 1st-6th grade school year begins on Monday, August 8th.
