Information for Students


Turkey Trot is this week Wednesday!  Remember to wear athletic covered shoes, apply sunscreen before school and bring a water bottle.  Have fun!  We can’t wait to see who will win the prizes! Thanks to everyone who contributed money to our school for technology!

After Thanksgiving, your PE teachers have offered to help teach all of you how to play kickball and what rules we will follow when playing.  When everyone has learned the game and knows the rules, we will start rolling out the game during recess.  It will ONLY be allowed when an adult is present (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) until it is determined that students can play responsibly and fairly.

Remember to always practice our Tribes agreements!  You can always show mutual respect, attentive listening, appreciation (no put-downs), right to pass and participate and safety first. Following these agreements helps you to build strong character and helps everyone feel part of the group.  Do your part!

Congratulations to our Lion King Cast and Crew!  
We cannot wait for the performances!

This Wednesday marks Administrative Professionals Day, and we want to take a moment to sincerely recognize and thank our exceptional office staff. Their dedication and support extend far beyond the expected, touching every corner of our school. From cheerfully greeting families – both the friendly and the more challenging – to ensuring the smooth execution of every event, our office team is truly the backbone of our school. They arrive early, stay late, manage our supplies, process our paychecks and scan our lunches, and, above all, always help to ensure the well-being of our students. Thank you for all that you do! In addition to celebrating our administrative professionals, this week we also gratefully acknowledge the vital contributions of our campus volunteers. Our PCNC, Kilohana Motas, and our active PTA work tirelessly to create meaningful volunteer opportunities that benefit our entire school.
