Dear Parents/Guardians:

There is an all call going out tonight, March 22, below is the information it conatains:


This is just a reminder that our arrival doors are open 8:30-8:40.  We have seen an uptick in students arriving late.  This makes arrival procedures very difficult, please make every effort to make it here prior to 8:40.  We also are not able to accept any materials dropped off after the doors close, if a student forgets an item please just keep it at home until the next day.

Stay Safe,
Sean Dunphy

Dear Parents/Guardians:

 I know this has been a challenging year, at Girls on the Run they have been very busy modifying their program to meet all Social Distancing protocols. They are happy to be offering their program OUTSIDE, at Waterfront Park, at a time where girls need movement, a place to share with their peers, and just an opportunity for FUN!  Please see the flyer below for more details on this wonderful program that we have been a part of for the past 5 years.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Below you can watch a video by Dr. Ken Kunz.  He is one of our favorite Literacy Presenters that we have for our staff throughout the year.  He took the time to put together a quick video for our parents about the importance of literacy and books.  Please take a moment to watch it:

Dear Parents/Guardians:


We have now completed two full weeks since we were able to return to a hybrid schedule with our Purple and Gold Day students coming in for in person instruction two to three days a week. Our students have been great and a building with students is far more enjoyable than one without. We want them in school; however, we need your help. Many of our students are arriving for in person instruction each day without the online Covid-19 Questionnaire being completed. This results in the school staff having to stop the student from attending class, then reaching out to the parent to ensure there are no concerns the school needs to address. The completion of this form protects all of our children as well as our staff. 


As a district, we have decided that the importance of the daily Covid-19 Questionnaire completion cannot be overstated; thus, we will be imposing the following to all in person students as of Monday, March 15, 2021.


Any day a student is scheduled for in person instruction, a Covid-19 Questionnaire must be completed. If there are three occurrences of the form not being completed, we will be forced to place the student on Virtual/Remote only instruction for the remainder of the school year.


If you have any questions, please contact the school.


Sincerely,

Sean Dunphy
