We will be taking our FINAL MAP assessments in May. There is nothing to study or prepare for. This is our "SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW" assessment. We only suggest that students get a good night's sleep and eat breakfast. :)  We will talk to students about taking their time and listening to each question and answer choice. We will begin right at our assigned time.  Assessments dates and times are as follows: Math- Monday, May 6th at 8:00am and Reading,- Wednesday, May 8th at 8:00am.

We appreciate all the friends and family that were able to attend the Barn Dance. We hope you enjoyed it!

On Friday, April 26th, we will be going on a field trip to the Rock House Creamery. This will be a short field trip as we will leave school, visit the creamery and be back before lunch. The cost is $12 for each student. We will need all forms and money by Monday, April 15th. Please see field trip form for more details. 

   Ice Cream Fridays!  

Our PTO will continue to sell ice cream each Friday for $1. Please send the money with your student in a labeled ziploc or envelope if they'd like one. :)

We will be visiting the library to check out a new book on Wednesday. Please encourage your student to put their library book back in their book bag when they are finished looking at it each night. :)

We have 10 minutes in our schedule for snack time. Each student is encouraged to bring one snack to enjoy during this time. If you would please help your student pack the item in their book bag, this will help when they are trying to locate their snack. :)

We love to celebrate birthdays! Snack time is the best time of the day to celebrate. If you would like you are welcome to send in a small treat to enjoy. Some easy things that students have enjoyed have been goody bags or a donut or a cookie. If you are thinking passing out birthday invitations at school, we ask that each student receive one. :) 


We understand that changes in transportation are necessary from time to time. If you would please, either send in a hand written note for the office or call the front office with the transportation change. We can not accept email transportation changes. Thank you for understanding. :) 


Please check their FISH book nightly for teachers notes, student work or messages from the office. All of the student work can be removed daily. Please check the student work to see if anything needs to corrected and returned. 

When money is being sent to school, it would be very helpful if it came in a ziploc or an envelope with your student's name, my name, grade level and a brief description of what the money is for. ( lunch money, book fair, ice cream, etc.) Thank you for helping us!
