Our August/September Culture Characteristic is Community. Through structured lessons & activities, our students have been building a sense of belonging, ownership, and collaboration. This means:

• Building opportunities for students to get to know each other and work cooperatively to build skills

• Students have a voice in the structure and expectations of their classroom, allowing them to take ownership of their learning and behavior in the classroom

• Students see themselves as a team working together towards a common goal

We can't wait to see which of our students will be honored as our September Culture MVPs for exemplifying COMMUNITY!

We are so grateful for the overwhelming response to the call for parent volunteers to join the School Advisory Council (SAC).

Parents, please be aware that we send two types of text messages: Alerts and Rooms messages.

Alerts are for important, time-sensitive information that applies to many students and families. Examples include weather delays, school closures, or other district-wide announcements.

Rooms messages are for updates from your child’s classroom or school. This might include information about class events, school activities, or messages from a teacher.

If you previously opted out of receiving our text messages and would like to start receiving them again, you can opt back in. We recommend you do BOTH!

• For Alerts, text START to 98900

• For Rooms messages, text START to 27806

Cell phones must be silenced and concealed in backpacks for the duration of the school day. They should be neither seen nor heard. No Apple Watches or comparable smart watches are permitted, as these ARE wireless communication devices.

Your child will NOT be released to you (or anyone else), even if we know you, without a picture ID. Individuals who wish to pick up your child or have lunch with him/her MUST be on the student's contact list in Synergy. Safety FIRST!

Per district policy, when lightning is detected within 8 miles of our school, "shelter in place" is initiated and students are not permitted outside the buildings. This SIGNIFICANTLY affects dismissal, which is delayed because we cannot release students unless a parent comes into the building to pick up the child, which they are always welcome to do. We'll communicate with you on days that severe weather may impact dismissal, but please be patient with us, as well as prepared, as our purpose is never to inconvenience our families, but to keep our kids safe!

Be sure to acclimate yourself to our car rider procedures if you'll be picking up your students from school. Your patience is so greatly appreciated as SAFETY is our primary concern, and not speed! We will always try to dismiss students as efficiently as possible, and your adherence to our procedure is critical in making this happen! Click HERE for our Car Rider Procedures!
