Ending Days of School Reminders
Here are just some reminders to make the last few days of school easier for everyone.
Half Days – the last two days, Wednesday, 6/27 and Thursday, 6/28 are half days. Lunch will be served. Dismissal begins at 1:00 pm. If your child takes transportation, remember that the bus will be at the stop 2 hours earlier than usual. If your child attends an after school program through transportation, check with the provider to ensure they are open early to accept your child. Bus rout changes cannot be made.
Before and After school care – the last day of Before school is Tuesday, 6/26. The last day of After school is Friday, 6/22. Reminder – if you have a balance due at the end of the year you will not be able to utilize the program services in either building next year until balances have been paid off.
Next School Year – our school hours remain the same 8:30 am – 3:10 pm. The first day back for students (grades 1-8) is Thursday, 9/6/18. The first day back for students (K1-K2) is Monday, 9/10/18. During the week of August 20th all students should be receiving their classroom assignments for the coming school year. Bus assignments will be mailed out in late August.

Glow Run
Hi everyone,
In just a few days we will be kicking off the Boosterthon Fun Run Fundraiser! We are hoping to raise $15,000 to be spent on more technology for the school community. We need your help as we work towards our goal of having one laptop/chromebook/tablet per student! With your help, we know we can reach this goal. On March 9th, our students will all be running laps to help our school. This Wednesday, February 28th, students will be coming home with a Pledge Crown that explains how YOU can help our school this year. Check out this video for more information (https://vimeo.com/251184715). Please enter your pledges on funrun.com (starting February 28th) and thanks in advance for supporting our school!
