A Note from Our School
We appreciate your time and effort in attending Parent Conferences. It is such a great time to connect with families and work together as a team. It truly takes a team to ensure academic and social-emotional success for our Pumas. We look forward to continuing our work together.
Parking Reminders
We need your support. We continue to have challenges with families parking their car in the red zone and not pulling forward to keep the flow of traffic moving.
It’s crucial that cars not be left unattended in the red zones - specifically in the Lincoln lot in the circle.
Please help support your fellow Puma families in having a stress free pick up and drop off.
PTA - Membership Drive
Our goal this year is 260 members this year and we hope to meet that goal by the end of October. As of today, we have 193 members. Please help us reach our goal by joining! There are envelopes in the front office or you can sign up online using Totem. Your donations provide support for the numerous opportunities, events, and programs for all of our Pumas! Thank you for your support!
Every Day Counts - Attendance Challenge
Did you know that attendance and academic success are related?
Students who have consistent, on-time attendance perform better academically. Lessons build on each other, critical practice occurs, and opportunities for language development are increased. Please keep in mind that you are a key piece to your child’s success. Thank you for your support in getting students to school each and every day!
