The last two weeks have been extremely busy with campus tours each day and, of course, preparations for Open House.  We feel tons of excitement in the air as our students finish last minute details on class projects and room environments to impress their parents and other visitors.  Our students experience such a sense of pride when they are able to share with you all they have been able to achieve in this school year.  Try to remember to encourage your children and tell them how special their accomplishments have been this year.  Keep in mind that parental approval and praise are the most important acknowledgements in a child's life.

 

Progress reports went home today.  Not every student will receive one.  If your child is struggling in an area, you should receive a report.  You may also receive one if your student deserves extra accolades or praise for doing a great job.  Make sure you contact teachers if you have questions or need clarification.

 

Next week is probably our favorite week all year.  It is Staff Appreciation Week.  It is so inspiring to come to work and receive recognition for our dedication.  Make sure you read below about how you can help.

See you on Thursday night,

              Mrs. Lopez


May 16th is a MINIMUM DAY

Birth Certificate Required 
Updating Student Files

The state requires that we have a birth certificate on file for each student in attendance at our school.  If we do not have a copy of your student's birth certificate you will be notified next week.

 

Please be aware that we MUST have a copy of your student's birth certificate on file in order for them to return in the fall.  Start looking!
