A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Families,

As we move into March, we are excited to share some important updates and upcoming events! Please read below for information about Parent-Teacher Conferences, an exciting school reward opportunity, and Spring Break.

4K enrollment - 4K enrollment is now open! If you have a child or know of a child who is 4 or will be four on or before September 1, we encourage you to sign up for our four year old program. We also welcome you to our 4K Preview Night, March 20 from 4:30 - 5:30. You will be able to meet our amazing staff and check out our classrooms and school!

School Reward – Bowling Fun: We are thrilled to announce that as part of our school-wide reward, students will be going to the Domes on March 4, 5, and 6! This will be a fun and exciting outing for our students to enjoy and celebrate their hard work. Keep up the great work, and we look forward to a fun day of bowling!

Spring Break – A Time to Recharge: Spring Break is right around the corner! Our school will be closed from March 10th to March 14th. This is a wonderful opportunity for students and staff to take a well-deserved break, spend time with family, and return refreshed for the remainder of the year. We hope you enjoy this time, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on March 17th!

Parent-Teacher Conferences: Our Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on March 25th and 27th. These conferences are a great opportunity for you to meet with your child’s teachers to discuss their academic progress, social development, and any goals for the rest of the year. You will be able to sign up for conferences starting Monday, March 3 in your Skyward account. If you have any specific concerns you would like to address, please feel free to let us know in advance. We look forward to meeting with you and working together to support your child’s success.

Wishing you all a wonderful March!
