Information for Students


This quarter is moving quite quickly with the shortened days for conferences and upcoming days off.  It is so important for you to stay on track with your learning, even if you are not in school.  READ, READ, READ!!

Our days off this week have special significance for our country.  Encourage your parents and family members to vote on Election Day!  Also, be sure to thank veterans and military personnel for their service to our country!

Please remember that we encourage healthy snacks at our school.  If you would like to bring in a snack or treat to share for your birthday or other celebration, we encourage you to have mom or dad send healthy snacks or non-food items instead of sugary snacks or cupcakes.  Some of your classmates have food allergies or cannot eat a lot of sugary foods, so let’s help everyone out by encouraging healthy choices!

Good Luck 4th graders on your Science HSA this week!

Have a great week!

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.
