Fifth Grade Spirit Week: We Love the Class of 2020!
Fifth graders are finishing their last week of school with special activities every day. They are watching clips from their plays each morning during their Zoom meetings, and they will meet with their kindergarten buddies on Wednesday via Zoom. The annual Fifth Grade Recognition Day will be recorded and played via Zoom on Thursday. Today, the students watched a video of all their mottos for middle school. Watch the video here.
Join Us Friday for the Parking Lot Parade and Pick Up
Say good-bye to this year and hello to summer! Drive through the car line route, wave to your teachers, drop off library books and other school items and pick up items from your classrooms on Friday. This is also a good time to drop off used uniforms. Get into the spirit by wearing your uniform or a Bright School t-shirt and decorating your vehicle with signs if you'd like. For more information, read this flyer.

Here are the times to come by school. If you have children in more than one grade, pick the time that works best for you.

JPK, PK and Kindergarten: 9-9:30 a.m.

Grades 1-2: 10-10:30 a.m.

Grades 3-4: 11-11:30 a.m.
