Week of December 8, 2024

December continues to fly by! It is hard to believe there are just 2 weeks until winter break. We are working hard to keep everyone engaged and focused on school work while sprinkling in some winter/holiday activities.


The weather this week will be a mix of many different seasons. It will start warm with rain then end with very cold weather. Please encourage students to prepare for outdoor recess each day unless it is raining or bitter cold and windy.


Report Cards - Report cards will be live in Skyward on December 10 after school.


PBIS News - Responsible behavior on the bus is an area in which we are working. Some students continue to yell, scream, and get out of seats on the bus. Please help us out by having a conversation with your bus riding students about behaivor on the bus. Thank you!


Special Cycle Days this week:

December 9 - E Day

December 10 - F Day

December 11 - A Day

December 12 - B Day

December 13 - C Day
