Hopefully you have managed to stay healthy and are ready to get right back to the rhythms and routines of school!  As anticipated, enrollment has continued to grow over the break and we are welcoming new students this week, as we quickly approach 800 students.  We encourage you to review your classroom behavior expectations during this first week back as it is an excellent time to refresh and reboot for everyone-your new and returning students.   

Looking forward to your renewed energy and spirit!  

Have a great week!


As we approach PT conferences, please note that we will be ending resource classes and PLCs at either 12:40 or 12:50, starting October 21.  Your grade level will miss either the last 1 or 2 rotations.  You may request time with the resource teachers to make up the missed time as needed on another day.

Don’t see your birthday?  Did you fill out this form?  This is the Personnel Data form that helps us keep information that only the office and admin use for emergencies (and to acknowledge birthdays).  If you do not wish us to acknowledge your birthday, please let us know and we will not share, however we do ask that all staff members complete the form so we can have your emergency contacts and vehicle information.

Thank you!

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.
