Fall Picture Retake Day is tomorrow (10/8). If your student did not get their picture taken on the first day, they will be called tomorow. If you would like to have your student retake their picture, please send in a note and add what you didn't like about the first picture (so the photographer can make sure it doesn't happen again). If you are a PreSchool parent, this will be the only day for fall photos.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our entire school community for your immense patience, understanding, and unwavering support as we navigated two separate situations involving student notifications this week. Your partnership is what keeps our school strong and safe.

This weekend offers a valuable opportunity to connect with your children, and I kindly ask that you have a conversation with them about the power of their words. Please remind your students about what constitutes appropriate conversation at school, emphasizing that threats or inappropriate language are taken very seriously. We want to empower our students to always speak up. If they hear or see something concerning, they should immediately tell a trusted adult, such as a teacher, counselor, or administrator. However, please also remind them of the importance of not sharing or gossiping about these rumors with their friends. Spreading information among peers can cause unnecessary fear and makes it harder for our staff to investigate efficiently.

This week has been filled with bright moments that remind me why our school is such a special place. I am incredibly proud of the wonderful work our students have accomplished over the last five days. From showcasing remarkable creativity in their classrooms to demonstrating kindness toward one another on the playground, our kids have shown incredible resilience. Their enthusiasm for learning and their bright smiles have truly been the best part of every day.

Thank you again for your continued collaboration and dedication to our school community. I hope you and your family have a restful, safe, and wonderful weekend.

We have had a wonderfully steady week here at school. Our classrooms are buzzing, and our students are simply working hard and learning every single day. I am so proud of the focus and dedication I am seeing in our hallways.

A Quick Request: As the weather changes, our Lost and Found is growing rapidly! Please take a moment this weekend to write your child's first and last name on their jackets, water bottles, and lunchboxes. If an item has a label, we do our best to return it directly to your child's classroom.

Thank you for your continued partnership. Have a wonderful weekend!

The lively energy of the first few weeks of school has gracefully shifted into something equally beautiful: the steady, purposeful hum of established routines. Our students have officially settled into their classrooms, adjusted to their new schedules, and mastered their daily transitions.

There is a distinct sense of comfort and confidence that comes when a school finds its rhythm. Now that the building layouts and morning expectations are second nature, our students are channeling all of their energy into deep learning, creative projects, and meaningful friendships.

This seamless transition wouldn't be possible without your support at home. Thank you for your incredible partnership in establishing the morning routines and bedtime schedules that allow our students to arrive ready to learn every single day. We look forward to a fantastic, focused month ahead!

📢 Mark your calendars—Spirit Week is next week! 📢We can’t wait to see all of our students and staff showing their pride. Check out the graphic below for each day’s theme so you can start planning your outfits! 👚🥸🎩

Thank you for an incredible start to the school year! We are so grateful for your partnership, support, and dedication to helping our community kick off the year on such a high note.

Inside our classrooms, the energy is fantastic. Our teachers have jumped right into their curriculum and core materials, and the students are already working hard, staying focused, and diving deep into their learning.

We also hosted a special character education assembly this week that our students absolutely loved! The program focused on three vital life skills with lifelong relevance: Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best. The presenter brought these concepts to life by combining powerful messages with captivating storytelling, magic, humor, and incredible yo-yo tricks. It was wonderful to see our students so engaged and excited about character building.

Upcoming Calendar Reminder:
No School on Monday, Sept. 7 in observance of Labor Day. Enjoy the extended holiday weekend with your families!

Thank you again for making the beginning of this year so seamless.

We have completed our second week of school! The energy and excitement filling our hallways over the past several days hse been absolutely incredible. As your new principal, it has been an absolute joy getting to know our wonderful students, dedicated staff, and supportive families. I am incredibly grateful for the warm welcome I have received.
Our building is bursting with life, and I love seeing our students reconnect with friends they haven’t seen since May, while enthusiastically welcoming new faces into our community.
Our teachers and staff have been working tirelessly to create a safe, structured, and joyful learning environment. Together, we have already accomplished so much during these first couple of weeks:

Building Community: Students and staff participated in fun icebreaker activities to help build strong classroom bonds and connections.
Establishing Routines: We practiced our very first fire drill and have been learning and practicing our school-wide behavioral expectations to ensure a safe environment for all.
Assessing Growth: We began our fall benchmark testing, which helps our teachers understand exactly where each student is academically so we can best support their individual growth this year.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership, communication, and support as we kick off this new school year. My door is always open, and I look forward to working alongside you to make this an unforgettable year for our students.
