JUST 12 DAYS LEFT!
The last day of school is Tuesday, June 4th! The end of the school year has many special events in store such as class picnics, field trips, and track and field days. As we enter into the “home stretch” we ask that all parents encourage children to exercise their best behavior and keep up with their assignments. Classroom behavior and work completion will play a large factor in students’ eligibility to participate in these special events. Thank you!

HEALTHY HABITS CALENDAR

FROM NURSE KATHY
If your child has prescription or over-the-counter medication at school, it will be important to stop in and pick it up before or at the completion of the school year. Left over medication cannot be sent home with students for the safety of them and others. If the medications are not picked up, they are automatically discarded. If you have questions regarding our medication policy, feel free to contact the school nurse.
