☀️ Farewell 2023-24

As we close the curtain on another successful year, I am incredibly grateful for your support. Thank you for placing your trust in me as I transitioned from into this new role. 

Your support, both inside and outside the classroom, is valued and appreciated. I extend a special thanks to our incredible families and PTA. Your volunteer efforts, from supporting field trips to programs like GREAT Art and Amazing Earth, and reviving enrichment programs, have greatly enhanced our students' learning experiences.

Throughout the year, we focused on helping our students RISE: developing Respect for themselves and others, fostering Independence as learners, prioritizing Safety in our school environment, and cultivating Empathy towards their peers.

Thank you for making this year a success. I wish you all a restful and joyful summer. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic year of learning and growth together!

📅 Reminder: Last day of School is June 12

The last day of the 2023-24 school year is Wednesday, June 12. Students will be dismissed early at 2:05 p.m.

🎉 Sixth Grade Farewell Celebration - A Huge Success!

Our sixth-graders had a fantastic time at their farewell celebration on Thursday evening! A special thank you goes out to the sixth-grade parent volunteers who coordinated this memorable event and to all those who supported us throughout the evening.

The celebration featured music provided by DJ Platts, keeping everyone in high spirits. A variety of fun activities kept the party moving, and pizza, popcorn, and custard were enjoyed by all. Trivia proved to be a popular station, and the student slideshow was a heartwarming touch that showcased our incredible sixth graders.

As we approach the end of the school year, we can't help but feel a bittersweet sentiment. It's hard to believe these amazing students are rounding out their elementary school journey! We will continue to celebrate and recognize their achievements at the upcoming promotion ceremony on Tuesday at 9:45 AM.

☀️ HAPPY TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!

🚘Safe Parking

Just a friendly reminder about parking! To keep everyone safe and avoid traffic jams, please use designated parking spaces or the Kiss & Ride lane for pick-up and drop-off.

Let's work together to prioritize a smooth and safe school zone for our school!
