Message from Principal Reed

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

As the calendar turns to December, a buzz of holiday cheer and excitement is already filling our hallways! We are looking forward to a wonderful, festive month ahead, filled with opportunities to celebrate the season as a school community, including a visit from Santa himself on December 11!

We have a variety of fun seasonal events planned, but please know that we remain deeply committed to maintaining strong, focused instruction in every classroom. This month is also critical for academics, as we will be administering important mid-year assessments, starting THIS WEEK. These tests provide valuable insights into your child's learning progress.

Therefore, we ask for your renewed support in ensuring that your child's attendance, engagement, and effort are top priorities. Coming to school on time every day, being rested, and putting forth their best work are essential for success.

Thank you, as always, for your partnership and for everything you do to support your child's education. We are so grateful for our wonderful school community.

Wishing you and your family a healthy and joyous start to the holiday season!

Adele Reed

November/December PAWS Points Fall Frenzy & PARTY!

There are JUST TWO WEEKS LEFT for students to earn those PAWS Points for the December PAWS Points Party as we promote good decision-making and strong character among our students!
Students have individual point goals that they must achieve by December 12 in order to attend our PAWS Party on December 19. Our team is recognizing students for putting forth a positive attitude, acting responsibly, making wise choices, showing respect, and being kind to others. Please help promote these goals by talking to your child about target behaviors at home. Ask your student about his or her point goal this week!
