Meet your Parent Liaison, Melissa Lohr

We Have Books

I'd love for you to come in and browse our books during the day or set up a time to meet with me outside of my scheduled hours. We have books for parents on raising teenagers, helping with homework and much more. We also have books in Spanish, translation dictionaries and high level lexile picture books.

If you would prefer, you are welcome to scroll through the list of books we have on our shelves and I will happily send the book(s) you are interested in home with your child. All you need to do is click on the button below the listing of books.

We Have Games & Learning Tools

Would you like to borrow an educational game or activity to assist your child with concepts they need a little extra help with? You can check out resources either in person or by completing the form below the list of items located in our Hub.

If you want to help your child at home but don't know what to check out, I can work with your child's teacher to send home appropriate items.

We Have Technology

In our newly renovated Resource Hub we have two computers and a printer available for you to use. We also have TI-36x Pro Scientific Calculators if you need to check one out for your child.

We Have Informational Brochures

The Parent Institute brochures available in our school lobby offer you information on a variety of topics, to help you and your child(ren) navigate school, family and social concerns. If you can't make it into the school and would like brochures sent home on specific topics please look through the list below and then click on the brochure request form.

We Have a School Compact

This Title 1 compact outlines how the parents, the entire school staff, and the students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement as well as how the school and parents will build and develop a partnership that will help children achieve the state’s high standards. It is of the utmost importance that communication between teachers and parents take place on an ongoing basis in the form of conferences and/or progress reports.

We Have Parent Workshops
