Following directions is an important part of science labs. 6th grade got to work on their listening skills with the fun and messy lab.

Tomorrow is the big day! The first day of the 26-27 school year is here, and we are excited to welcome the kids back into the building.

Bus routes remain unchanged, so your child will leave at the same time as before. The drop-off line changed just a little. When you make your U-turn in the lot to go out, look for Mr. Cass to see where the kids go in. There is no more gym lobby to enter, so they will use the back door to the gym in the mornings.

The pick-up line is unchanged. You will enter the gate as you did before; just be on the lookout for construction materials or equipment.

We can't wait to see you all in the morning.

A huge thank you to all of our families who came out to Open House tonight. We were also happy to show off the new primary wing to our families and community members. We can't wait to welcome the kids on Wednesday.

Parking and Entry for the Open House

Our Open House is Monday evening from 5:00 - 7:00. This is a chance to meet your child's teachers and to drop off their school supplies. There is no set schedule except for Kindergarten. They start at 5:00. Otherwise, you may come and go as you please.

Due to construction, please park in the main lot next to the old gym lobby. From there, you will walk south towards the blue pole barn to door 22. Look for the signs directing you where to go. Please do not park beyond the orange cones that will be set up.

Thank you for your help, and we are so excited to see our students and their families.
