Dr. Seuss Week Was a Hit!

A big thank you to all students and families for participating in Dr. Seuss Week! Our reading committee truly outdid themselves in organizing this celebratory week. A special thanks to Sally Knight, our guest author and reader, for contributing to the festivities.

March Came in Like a Lion

We appreciate your patience during the remote learning days caused by the windy weather. Safety is our top priority. Thank you to all families for taking the time to fill out the survey regarding these days.

Wacky Wednesday Fun

As always, Wacky Wednesday was a hit with students. Thank you for submitting permission forms by the Tuesday prior to Wacky Wednesday. The last Wacky Wednesday for the year is scheduled for April 9.

After-School Fun Days

A heartfelt thank you to Anna Chaney and the Presbyterian Church for hosting the once-a-month after-school fun days for students. We hope everyone enjoyed spring break and made lasting memories.

Final Quarter of the School Year

We're now in the last quarter of the school year, and it's a fast and furious race to the finish. Please check the elementary calendar of events on our website. We have many activities planned.

Student Incentives and Improvements

Students with good character and academics have enjoyed incentives every other Friday. Those needing improvement have attended school improvement sessions to develop strategies for better behavior and academics.

AR Goal Achievement

Students who met their AR goal for Quarter 3 enjoyed a day at the lake, filled with fun times and good food. A big thank you to Joanna and Jimmy Rodriguez for providing delicious food and treats for the students. Your support is always appreciated.
