As we come to the close of this school year, I am truly grateful for your countless words of support and encouragement for our students and staff. This year has been filled with student joy, meaningful learning, new experiences, challenges, growth mindset moments, helping hands, and so much more. Thank you for contributing to a safe, supportive, and collaborative school community. Your partnership makes a difference each and every day.

Please do not hesitate to reach out during the summer if you have questions. Our summer office day will be Tuesdays, 9:00a.m. – 1:00p.m. We are also hosting Summer School for incoming kindergarteners! Please call the office to have your student signed up.

May 4-8 is Teacher Appreciation Week! We are excited to celebrate our AMAZING faculty and staff! Our PTA has a fun week planned to recognize our amazing teachers and we are so grateful for them! We also appreciate the kindness from those who have created posters and/or signed up to bring drinks.

Yearbook Sales: $18 May 18-22 (While supplies last).

Bike Scooter Drawing Winners: During our May 1 assembly, we drew two Cougar Club entries. Zack won the Bike and Wyatt won the Scooter! They were so surprised and excited!  We have one more drawing on May 15th, which will include all students who have received a Cougar Card this year.
