This has been a great week! Thank you all for your openness and caring as we work to serve all students, and for embracing the Global Day of Play! My Principal message, which went out Wednesday and is posted on our website explains this day to parents.  Please remember we are hands off as our students learn to be creative. Please also reiterate to parents that should they choose to send in toys, those toys should still be safe and appropriate for school.


Data doesn't bite : Thank you all for engaging in discussions around your EVAAS data. We have a lot of celebrations and you all did an excellent job of defining next steps for yourselves as communicated by your SIP representatives. Planning is a good time to review those next steps with your teams and determine how you are planning with that in mind.


Guidelines for Valentine's Day in light of food policyđź’“
I know that students will bring in Valentine's that will have candy attached. Because students will be taking these home and not consuming them here at school, it is fine to let students pass out whatever they bring in.

A nice way to learn how to use a Venn Diagram!

First graders learn where they are in the world!




Thank you Mrs. Driggers for this timely and important art lesson!
