First Day Of School, August 23rd - to support student safety, our staff will be available to help our students find their classes on the first day of school.

We know this can be tough and promise we will help all students arrive safely in their classrooms!

Input conferences are an opportunity for parents to speak with your child's classroom teacher to share your child's strengths, interests, concerns, and goals for the upcoming school year. Please click on the link to schedule a time, the scheduler will close on Sunday, August 25th. 

Arrival And Dismissal - we want to help our students safely enter and leave the building each day. In the morning, we will ask students to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. They will report to their classrooms or to the cafeteria for breakfast, if needed. At the end of the day, we will dismiss students beginning with Kindergarten and ending with 6th grade. Our staff will walk students to the door. Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students will dismiss at their outside classroom doors, second grade will dismiss onto the east playground, third grade will also dismiss onto the east playground, fourth grade will dismiss using our main entrance doors on 8th street and 5th and 6th grade will dismiss using our 7th street doors.

Thank you for helping us support safe morning arrivals and afternoon dismissals!

Snacks and Birthday Treats - We are proud to be a Blue Zones school and encourage healthy choices when students bring food for their daily snack. In addition, to support safety this school year when celebrating birthdays, we will ask for families to bring prepackaged items to minimize handling. Thank you!
