We are excited for families to join us on Thursday, August 21 from 5-7 for a Backyard Back to School Bash! The main priority for this night is learning more about your child's curriculum. Teachers will work together to go over important grade level information and give parents an opportunity to ask questions about grade level standards and expectations. Meetings will be held inside the building and your children will stay with you for the brief session. In addition to learning more about your child's curriculum, we have some fun planned in our "backyard". We will have free bounce houses, face painting, corn hole, life size jenga and more. We will also have our playground open for families to enjoy! We will have food trucks and Kona Ice available for purchase! So grab your lawn chair and make yourself at home!
We are so excited to welcome families into the building for your child's lunch. To keep things running smoothly for our classroom teachers, here are a couple of reminders. If you bring in outside food, please put that food in discreet bags and we ask you do not bring in soft drinks.
We have special seating for you and your child when you walk in the lunchroom. Please only bring your child to those seats and not your child's friends. Ask your child's teacher what time you should start cleaning up to be ready to leave on time. Lastly, we ask that you say your goodbyes at the lunchroom doors and not walk to the classroom. This will help your child get back and adjusted for the remainder of their day. We also ask that you do not check your child out, we have LOTS of learning left to do in the afternoon and we don't want them to miss out!
We are excited to offer birthday shout-outs on our new LED sign for $5. Use THIS LINK to sign up. This form must be completed and the payment on School Window must be paid at least 1 week prior to their birthday. You can submit 1 photo to go with their birthday message. All funds will go towards faculty & staff appreciation.

The purple circle on our school map is the unbuckle zone. If you have a child that you need to help get unbuckled from a car seat, you can pull over here to get out of the flow of traffic. By doing this, our adults are able to quickly open the door and get your child inside so the car line can keep moving. Please also stay with the flow of traffic once you drop your child off.
