A Note from Mrs. Cureton...

We have now arrived at Spring Break 2026!

What a great week we have had on campus! Thank you to all of our families today who joined us for Data & Donuts. We appreciate your support & hope that you enjoyed learning more about your student's growth, goals, and celebrations...we also hope that you enjoyed the donuts!

I hope that all of you have a wonderful, relaxing, and fun spring break with your kids! We will miss them for the next 9 days and can't wait to see everyone back on Monday, March 16th at 7:50am!

Spring Individual Pictures: Tuesday, March 17th! Students will take pictures before 10am to help avoid stains from lunches & recess. Order forms were sent home with students this week--if you did not get one, please contact our front office. We will use these pictures for our yearbook photos, so please make sure your student is here for this...all students will take pictures Tuesday. If you do not want your student photographed by Lifetouch, please let your student's teacher know so that we can ensure they are not photographed. Online order link: https://my.lifetouch.com/mylifetouch/#/  Picture Day ID: EVTGZXG4S

A note from Nurse Ellis: Please make sure your student has an extra set of clothes in his/her backpack. This helps us to ensure all students have a change of clothes at school in case of an accident. 

Pizza by the Slice: Friday, March 27th. Please see the flyer below for our monthly Pizza by the Slice fundraiser. Please note that all pizza money must be  turned in by Wednesday, March 25th @11am. We cannot make exceptions to the due date/time due to ordering processes with our pizza vendor. Students are not allowed to have individual pizzas delivered to our front offices on these days. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please contact me. 

Spring Break: March 9th-13th

Grade Level Newsletters:

All of our grade levels provide a printed, monthly newsletter to families. Our newsletters are designed to keep families informed of the learning and events happening in our classrooms each month. Please use the link here to access grade level newsletters, if you are needing an electronic copy. Click on your student's grade level in this folder to access the newsletter for your student.

Have a great spring break!
