We had a great, short week this week! This week started the 2nd 9 weeks of the school year. If you have any questions about your child's grades, please make sure to reach out to their teacher via email or Class Dojo. You can login to view your child's grades any time via Parent Portal.
Please continue to send bags of individually wrapped candy for our PTA Fall Festival! Our Candy Monster needs more candy!

Book Character Parade:
We are getting ready for our annual Book Character Parade! Students are invited to bring their favorite book & dress as their favorite book character as we parade through the school! Students cannot wear masks or have weapons with their costumes--any students out of compliance will be removed from the parade. Any students in ISS, on October 30th, will not participate in the parade.
Parents are welcome to come and watch the character parade! Please see the flyer below for parade times, check in at the front office, and head down to the cafe for the parent viewing area on Friday, October 30th.
