Grizzly Dash: The Final Lap

Our incredible PTA is committed to trying to keep many of the meaningful programs students and families love in place during these challenging times. They’ve already made adjustments to help account for evolving budget numbers, but we’d love your help to finish the Fun Run (a.k.a. Grizzly Dash) in a successful manner. Please stay tuned for school communications about “Grizzly Dash: The Final Lap.” An e-blast will be sent the morning of December 1st to families.

Thanks again for all you do,
Dr. G

Thank You Veterans

Our staff, students, and school continues to hold our Veterans and their families close in our hearts. We are grateful and we hope this video provides a small glimpse of the appreciation we have for Veterans all year long. Thanks to the many students, staff, and parents who helped make this project possible...including a very talented former student (who you’ll hear singing in the video).

Thank you Veterans!

Grizzly Dash Update

Way to go, !! This week we announced another prize-level after crossing the $10,000 milestone! As part of the fun, students earned one additional teacher to slime and I got to wear some colorful hair dye. Since many of our kiddos are learning from home (or alternating in-school sessions within the Hybrid model), we wanted to be sure to include them in the fun.

Be on the lookout for a colorful video message for students in today’s Parent Newsletter (a.k.a. Thursday eNews).

In partnership,
Dr. G

Thank you for your time, work, and partnership to help us navigate these unprecedented times together. We wanted to check in with families for two important reasons:

1.) To let your child(ren) know we are thinking of them (see special video for students).

2) To update families on some tentative plans for the weeks ahead.

We will get through this together.

In partnership,

Brad Gustafson, Principal

From the Desk of Dr G This one is for the kids! We’re thinking of you. We're going to stay connected. And we're here to help.

iPad and Supply Pick Up

UPDATED March 17th at 8:30a.m.: All K-5 families are asked to send one healthy adult to school to pick up important learning supplies and iPads today - Tuesday, March 17 from 12:00p.m.-6:15 p.m.

Please bring a backpack or something to carry your items. Once again, the supplies being picked up are above and beyond iPads, so it is really important that we get them to you today.

In order to streamline things, we’re using a “grab and go” approach, so the pick-up time will not be an opportunity to check in with your child's teacher. (For families with multiple children, our team will try to have everything ready in your oldest child’s classroom.) Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Lastly, we will have some new and “gently used” books placed on tables in the hallway. Please grab a few books for your child to read (and keep) while they’re away from school. I’ll plan to share more info in the coming days.

In partnership,
Dr. G
