School is a huge part of family and community life. It’s where our children spend their days; it’s where we gather to cheer on the home team, celebrate talent, and promote the pursuit of lifelong learning. Keep apprised of the news and events that affect your family right here on this page. We’ll update it regularly, so be sure to check back often.

Parent-teacher conferences will take place the week of December 1. Please note that there will be early dismissal for students on Tuesday, December 2. We look forward to sharing your student’s progress with you.
With the cooler weather months approaching, please ensure your child comes to school with appropriate warm clothing for outdoor recess. Students will continue to go outside for recess whenever weather conditions permit.
This month, our school counselors focused on friendship, kindness, and gratitude! We began November with friendship lessons and a World Kindness Day lesson to remind students how small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Throughout the rest of the month, classes will participate in a gratitude presentation, where students will create gratitude leaves to display the many things they are thankful for.
As we wrap up the month and prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, students will take part in a loving-kindness meditation, a calming activity to encourage compassion toward themselves and others.
Parent Tip of the Month: We encourage families to discuss gratitude at home and consider creating lasting gratitude habits. Remember, being specific and heartfelt makes your words even more meaningful! Don’t just tell mom you’re grateful for her; explain why you’re grateful for her.
We would like to ask families to avoid scheduling appointments during the school day. We understand, however, that certain appointments may be unavoidable. If an early pick-up is necessary, please avoid arriving during lunch and recess periods:
- 11:40 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (PreK–Grade 2)
- 12:40–1:30 p.m. (Grades 3–4)
Thank you for your help as students are transitioning during these times.
