Parent-Teacher Conferences
If you have not yet signed up for a conference or need to change your conference, please contact your child's teacher directly.
Valentine's Day
Valentine's parties are scheduled in elementary classrooms for Tuesday, February 14. Just like our Halloween parties, we will not be serving any food or using food in any crafts or games. Instead, we will focus on games and activities. Room reps should double check with their classroom teachers to verify the start time. If your child is passing out Valentine's cards to other students, the cards cannot have any candy or food attached to them. Trinkets such as pencils, erasers, stickers, etc., are great alternatives as long as they are not edible. Items such as goodie bags filled with treats or candy are also not permitted. We greatly appreciate our room reps and all of our volunteers who organize and provide fun Valentine's experiences for our students.
5Essentials Survey
As of today, we only have 5% participation.
Please take a few minutes to complete the 5Essentials Survey. Your participation in the parent portion of the survey will help us understand the conditions at our school and guide improvement. A report will be generated only if we have at least 20% parent participation.

*Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.*

From Trash to Treasure
March will be here before we know it, and the STEAM Committee needs your recyclables! We have activities planned for every grade level, which means we need LOTS of supplies.
Please send any of the listed items, which can be dropped into one of our collection bins in the hallways.
We need:
Thin collapsed cardboard boxes (i.e. Cereal, Pasta, Crackers, etc.)
Cardboard tubes (from wrapping paper, paper towels, etc.)
