Welcome back to school! We hope you all had a wonderful break and enjoyed time off with friends and family.  This week we start our end of year state testing in Language arts for grades 4-6.  As we enter the end of year testing time please help your children get a good night’s sleep the night before the test, eat a good breakfast the day of the test, and let them know to do their best. They’ve all worked so hard and we know they’ll do a great job!  

Kindergarten Registration for 2023-2024: Next school year each of our Kindergarten classes will be full day. If you need to register your child still for Kindergarten next year, please do it as soon as possible since our kindergarten classes are filling up. 

Teacher Requests for the 2023/2024 school year: If you’d like to put in a teacher request for your child for next year, please come to the front office to fill out the teacher request form.  Please understand that requesting a teacher is not a guarantee.  We will try to grant as many requests as possible, but it is important to understand that creating classes is more complex than it may seem at the outset.  Every class must be balanced as much as possible according to demographics, academics, and numbers.   Please do not email or call with requests to assist in our process this year. Thank you for your understanding as we work hard to create classes for next year.  The teacher request window will be open until Friday, April 28. After that time, we won’t be accepting any class changes or teacher requests for 2023/2024 school year.
