A Note from the Principal
Ms. Heidi Bishop
Those parents/guardians whose children received an invitation for after-school or weekend tutoring, you should receive communication this week from a teacher who will be tutoring to agree upon a mutually-agreeable day of the week for after-school or time/day if you requested weekend tutoring.
We apologize for the delay in getting this started.

A Note from the Student Wellness Coordinator
Ms. Stephanie Phifer
It has been a fabulous first few weeks of Social Emotional Learning with our 1st-5th graders. We have been learning all about emotions and how to identify them; what they feel like in our own bodies and what they look like on others (facial expressions and body language).
Throughout September, we will continue learning how to label our feelings and begin working on coping strategies to ease BIG feelings.
As we often incorporate Art into our lessons, please send in any extra art supplies you have around the house. In the upcoming weeks, we will have art projects including bubbles, paints, and playdoh!
