We're excited to see how many Owls can meet this challenge!!

We are excited to share the love this season. However, we just wanted to remind you that Friday, February 13th is NOT a party day. Classes will not be eating Valentine's snacks or sharing food items. This is not one of our designated Food of Minimal Nutritional Value (FMNV) days. We ask you to not send in any type of party food item. Also, please do not send in any treat or goody bags. Small candies attached to the Valentine will be acceptable.

Classes WILL be exchanging Valentine's before the end of the day. If your child chooses to participate, please send in a Valentine for each student in the class so everyone can enjoy the fun. ALL candy students receive will be sent home on Friday to enjoy at home.

Please remember there will be no school on Mon, Feb. 16th as this is a Student & IA Holiday. Teachers will engage professional development on this day.

School will resume Tuesday, Feb. 17th.

Our daily classroom instruction begins promptly at 7:45a.m. and goes until 3:00p.m.

If you are needing to sign your child out early for an appointment, we ask that you do so before 2:30p.m. 

The end of the day is hectic and we want to ensure each child goes home safely. If you arrive after 2:30p.m. to check your child out, we will ask you to wait until normal dismissal time at 3:00p.m.

As we head back into the school year, please help your child be ready for learning each day by starting the day off right!

Please remember after 8:00a, we ask parents to come into the lobby to check their child in.

Here Comes the Bus (HCTB) is a revolutionary app that parents can download to conveniently track their child's school bus in real-time. With this app, you’ll receive timely notifications about the bus's location, ensuring you never miss the bus and always know exactly when your child will be arriving home. No more waiting in uncertainty or worrying about delays—stay informed and in control with Here Comes the Bus.

If your child will be celebrating their birthday and would like to share the fun with their class, please notify the teacher first of when you would like to bring in store-bought cupcakes, cookies, donuts, or pre-cut brownies. Birthday celebrations typically happen near the end of the day so be sure to send the items in with your child when they come in in the morning.

Please help keep all our Owls safe and healthy by not smoking or vaping on school property, including at Dismissal.

Thank you!
