Please join our classroom community on ClassDojo. I’m using ClassDojo to connect with families, share classroom moments, and much more. Please join to stay connected!

Please make sure your child reads their AR book nightly. They need to return the books to school each day, so they will have the opportunity to take an AR test and check out new books. In order for your child to reach his/her AR goal for the 9 weeks, they need to maintain an 85% average and earn the points needed for their goal. Tests are taken on Mondays and Fridays. Please encourage your child to do their very best on AR.

Schools are taking all precautionary measures to ensure students are in a clean and safe environment. Schools are being disinfected each night and our ALL CLEAN staff are disinfecting throughout the day. We understand that attendance is of the utmost importance, but when a child is ill it is best that he/she remain at home and follow health care provider’s recommendations about returning to school and other related activities. Please encourage your child to always do the following:

Always wash hands after use of the restroom, before lunch/after lunch, and when returning from a public location (grocery store, rec department, etc).
When coughing, cough into the crease of the elbow.
Always report to an adult when not feeling well.

We do have signs posted throughout the buildings with reminders regarding proper hygiene.
