Principal's Message
What a wonderful week of learning and celebration! We loved honoring our incredible Students of the Month and sharing a sweet send-off for Mrs. Fanter as she begins her next chapter. A special shout-out goes to Mrs. Mushet’s class and Mrs. McDowell’s class for earning top attendance this month, averaging an outstanding 98.2% of students in attendance since the start of the school year! As a fun reward, both classes will get to enjoy some quality time with our school stuffie. All students will be getting this year's BragTag! Ask your student about it as we look forward to rewarding students all year long with this token for great attendance and positive behavior. As a reminder, we have Parent Teacher Conferences coming up on October 8th and 9th. Please see your student's teacher's Rooms communication for those digital sign ups. If you require a translator, please complete the link below so we can accommodate this request. We wish you all a wonderful, relaxing weekend, and please be sure to review the various updates below for important upcoming details.
Warmly,
Ms. Sylvester
