Campus Updates & Reminders:
With 18 days left of the school year, this is when jitters may be appearing for some of our students. The excitement of summer is often mixed with the nervousness of leaving the classroom that students have come to love and feel comfortable in. If your child needs a check-in to prepare for this transition, please reach out to Mrs. Andrews or the counselor, Ms. Kayla.
Testing season is almost complete! Shout out to our 3rd through 5th graders for all of their hard work and focus during these last two weeks. Students who need to still complete their tests due to absences or extra time needed will do so over the next few weeks.
PTO Message:
We are down to our last 35 yearbooks available for purchase. Once they’re gone, they are gone. You can purchase your copy at buytheyearbook.com (school ID: 723128).
