Campus Updates & Reminders:
Next week is our Fall Parent Teacher Conference week. This means we will be operating on an adjusted schedule:
- All TK/Kindergarten classes will be on their normal schedule all week, including “Wacky Wednesday”.
- 1st-6th graders will be dismissed at 12:10. Any student not having lunch at school must be picked up at 12:10.
- Lunch for 1st-6th graders is available from 12:10-12:35 for any student interested. There will be staff supervision at the lunch tables during this time. There will be no recess after lunch. All students not enrolled in an after-school program MUST be picked up by 12:35.
- If your child is enrolled in SPARK or Catalyst Kids, staff will supervise them from 12:35-1:35 on the blacktop. At 1:35 they will report to their after-school program, and you may pick them up using the normal protocol.

Social Justice Corner:
This month, students learned about two social justice advocates who are featured on our school mural, Wilma Mankiller and Madonna Thunder Hawk. Both women have fought for the fair treatment of Native families in our country, especially the rights of Native women and children. Stop by our mural and scan the QR code on the back of the F-wing to learn more about these women.
