NEW! A Note from Ms. Trena:

Cellphones & Smart Watches: 
Parents, please refrain from having students wear smartwatches or bring cellphones to school. If they need to have access to contact you throughout the day,  they are welcome to use the phone in the main office. If you are requiring that your child carry a cellphone, then it will need to be turned off and remain in their backpack until the end of the school day. 

Arrival/Dismissal reminders for safety:
~Please check out with your child's teacher before leaving the campus during dismissal.
~Refrain from cell phone usage while on campus.  We appreciate your willingness to stay alert and present!
~ Mind the crossing guards and show caution in the crosswalks.  Our people are our greatest assets. 
~Pull all the way forward in the queue.  Avoid stopping on corners and leaving large gaps in the kiss-n-go lane.  
~The Kiss-n-Go lane is for swift drop-offs.  Our staff is there to assist with loading and unloading students.  Please do not get out of the car.  If you wish to walk your child in,  feel free to park and walk them up to the building. 
~On voyage gear drop-off day, please park and walk your student in. 

A note from Ms. Sami's Crew

Ms. Sami's 4th-grade Crew is continuing the tradition of the Cereal Box Challenge for their Beat. Ms. Sami's Crew is coordinating with a local food bank to donate all the cereal boxes for their service project. The goal is to beat the school record from last year: 245 cereal boxes. Ms. Sami's Crew is asking each student and staff member to bring in an unopened box of cereal by February 14.
