Thank you to everyone who has supported our fundraisers this year! We are getting closer to our goal amount in order to get an additional piece of playground equipment for our school and community. Words can't express our sincere gratitude for your support. Keep up the good work!!

The PTO is raising money for new playground equipment, and we are seeking local businesses to partner with us to reach our goal. Parents, we need your help, too. If you own a business, work for one, or know of a business that would want to partner with us, please help us by asking for sponsorships. Our goal of $20,000 is now down to $5,900!! Below is the sponsorship flyer and the sponsors who have donated to the fundraiser so far. Let us know if you have any questions. We greatly appreciate your help!

Attendance Matters: When Should Your Child Stay Home?
Being in class every day is one of the most powerful ways to support your child’s learning and success. We want to see our students in school as much as possible! It’s common for children to wake up with mild sniffles, a slight headache, or just feeling a little tired. Unless your child has a fever of 100+, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, or eye discharge, please encourage them to come to school! If they start feeling worse during the day, our school nurse will evaluate them and contact you if needed.

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.

October Attendance Challenge
October perfect attendance challenge is underway. Students who do not miss a day in October 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!
