A Note From Mrs. Stoffers |
|
|
| Good afternoon,
Don't forget there is no school on Monday, September 2nd. Students and staff will return to school on Tuesday. Have a great long weekend! Your kids have been working hard and have earned a break.
Each year our school creates goals for our staff and students. This year our focus will be on creating stronger systems and teams within our building, deeping our community, as well as focusing on high quality instruction. Throughout the year you will see updates or information on how you can partner with us on our goals.
Catch a glimpse below of our new Gaga Ball pit! The students have been having a blast learning a new game...and, let's be honest, Coach Creek and Coach Lagger too! Please make sure to read our newsletter all the way through. There is a lot of new information included.

Today, Friday, August 30th, your child was given the Emergency Day packets #1 and #2 and asked to bring them home. Please keep these at home in a safe place. In the event that we would ever need to cancel/shutdown school for any reason, we would require our students to work out of these packets in lieu of school work for the emergency day. In order for your student to be counted as “present” on an emergency day, a parent signature must be provided on page 2 of the packet and returned to school when we return. Don't forget to add your child's name to the packet!
