Fall Festival: Do you love fall?  Are you looking forward to our Annual Fall Festival on October 21st from 3:00 – 6:00 PM?! Well, get excited because it is right around the corner and we need your help to plan and execute.  The planning committee still needs someone to lead the Dessert Walk, which includes organizing the activity and reaching out to the community for donations. If this is something you’re interested in or you want to decorate, run games, collect tickets, or hand out food, we could use all the help we can get.

K-8 Announcements

Traffic/Parking Reminders: Please be respectful and mindful during our arrival and dismissal process, following traffic rules is an essential part of maintaining a safe environment for children. This includes parking in designated areas, adhering to the instructions of school staff, and obeying traffic laws. Traffic rules help to ensure that students are not in harm’s way when they are entering and exiting vehicles. When drivers obey traffic laws, they are less likely to be in an accident or cause a disruption in the flow of traffic. Additionally, traffic laws help to reduce congestion and provide a safe environment for pedestrians. 

Progress Reports: Progress Reports were sent home with students on Friday, September 29th. Please reach out if you need another copy of your student’s progress report or have any questions.

Kudos: We’d like to give a shout out to the families who supported our school during the biggest fundraiser of the year, our Olympic Triathlon!  We worked together to show what it means to be part of a collaborative community that wants to provide our students with the best school experience possible. With the money we raised, we will be able to enhance our children’s school experience through programs, athletics, and community events. Thank you for all you do!
