Weekly Newsletter for the week of Aug. 3rd - Aug. 7th

Principal’s Message

Wow, what a summer it's been! I hope you all had a fantastic few months, filled with relaxation, fun, and maybe a little adventure. As we gear up for the start of a new school year, I wanted to send out a huge, warm welcome to both our returning families and those who are new to our community. We're so thrilled to have you all here!

This year, our focus remains on creating a supportive and inspiring environment where every child feels valued, challenged, and excited to learn. We truly believe in the power of partnership between home and school, and your involvement is incredibly important to your child's success. Please keep an eye out for opportunities to connect with us throughout the year, whether it's at school events, PTO meetings, or parent-teacher conferences.
We'll be sharing more details about important dates, school procedures, and upcoming events in the next few newsletters, so keep an eye on your inbox! In the meantime, if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Here's to a wonderful and successful school year together! 
Ms. Cope

Come join us for a Party on the Playground!  If it rains, we will move the party to the gym!  We will have a food truck available if you want to buy dinner and eat with us.  We hope to see you there!

Party on the Playground Aug. 4th from 3:15 - 6:00

Attendance Matters

Excuse Notes
Please remember to send in a note from the doctor or a parent note when your child is absent. Each child get 5 parent notes each year. Remember, your child can't learn the material if they are not in school. Please help us by scheduling appointments after school or during breaks. Attendance really does matter.
August Attendance Challenge
August perfect attendance challenge is underway.  Students who do not miss a day in August will receive a special treat at the end of the month.  Encourage and support your child to have perfect attendance this month.  Try to schedule appointments after school or on breaks!

Attendance Procedures
Please make sure you send in a parent note or doctors note with your child when they return after an absence.  You can send in a parent note for 5 days worth of absences.  Any absence other than those must have a doctor or dentist note to be excused.  Please remember, this is more about ensuring students are at school to receive the daily instruction from the teacher.  Students can make up missing assignments, but they cannot get back the instruction the teacher provided that day.  Also, leaving school early is considered a tardy, as well is coming in late.  Instruction begins at 8:00am each day and does not end until 3:00pm.  Please help us by limiting the time students miss from the classroom.  We appreciate your support with this!
