Second graders read Violet the Pilot in STEAM lab and were challenged to design flying machines that could rescue a "person", just like Violet did in the story. Collaboration was key for these successful designs!

Thank you for an awesome First Day! A couple reminders regarding Pick-Up time:
1. Please update School Dismissal Manager.
2. If you are driving through the pick-up line, please pull ahead if you need to assist with buckling. This keeps the line moving.
3. Transportation changes should be made by 2:00 p.m. If you need help, please reach out to Mrs. Giles: [email protected].

School Dismissal Manager (SDM) is LIVE and you should receive an email this evening that prompts you to set up dismissal options. See you in the morning!
