From Your Administrative Team
Greetings Families,

We look forward to celebrating our talented student community at the Talent Showcase on Friday 5/20! Thank you in advance to our student performers/artists, parent volunteers, and staff, especially Jessica A and Jahmal for the efforts in making this event come to life! We are looking forward to this annual FAN event as the year is quickly nearing its end.

Please take a few minutes of your time to complete our Parent Survey HERE. We read all survey entries thoughtfully and consider ideas in our decision making! We would also like to ask that your feedback is kind, specific, and helpful. Thank You!


Take Good Care,
Kaitlin and Tami
Parent Volunteers Needed!
Thank you to Core 5 parents Suzanne for helping us clean and donate our Lost and Found items! We appreciate you!

We are also looking for a hand parent who would be interested in building and facilitating a small construction job for us! We are hoping to transform a new surprise space for students for next year, and need some help!

If you are available for a building project, please e-mail Kaitlin!

As part of CAASPP testing our 5th and 7th graders are required to take a physical fitness test. Please have your student dress comfortably, wear athletic shoes for the fitness tests (one of which is running) and bring a refillable water bottle. If you would like to, feel free to send your student to school with a yoga mat or towel for them to lay on, as we will be testing in the grass field/blacktop. This test will be administered next week from 2:00-3:00 PM
