New News
- Some families signed our Digital Device Agreement with your 5th grader at conferences or Open House. If not, we have sent this home with your 5th grader for you to sign and return. Thanks!
- If you know throughout the year that you will be gone on vacation, you will need to fill out an online form. IN ADDITION, please let the classroom teacher know as well. Thanks!
- Here is our shameless plea to all parents/guardians. We don't take many field trips during the year, but if things come up at the last minute and for the end of the year all day trip we really count on parents joining us. If you think you might even consider this, please do the volunteer training now so we are not scrambling at the last minute. The training is good for only one year. After that, you do need to re-apply, but it is a simple process after the first round of training. Thank you!! Volunteering Link
