Bike to School Week June 3-7
We will be hosting a bike parade on Friday, June 7th. All students are encouraged to ride their decorated bike to school on this day and show it off during the parade. The parade will occur right after morning attendance.
Reminders
Ready, Set Kindergarten
This Wednesday, May 29th we will be hosting our Ready, Set Kindergarten event for all 2024/2025 incoming Kindergarten students. All incoming Kindergarten families have been sent a notice, via the Parent Portal, regarding the format of the afternoon. A reminder that the 2023/2024 Kindergarten students will be dismissed at 11:00 on this day.
Class Placements
We are beginning to create our classes for next year. Please be assured that staff devote considerable time, care, and attention to this process. This very complex and lengthy responsibility occurs over several weeks and continues into September when class placements are finalized.
Throughout the year, there have been many opportunities for parents and teachers to discuss each child. Staff work together to consider the following criteria very carefully: social emotional skills and relationships, as well as learning styles, strengths, and needs. Our goal is to create safe and engaging inclusive classrooms that balance these factors, as equitably as possible.
If you feel there is further information to consider about your child, you may submit input to Mrs. Dailey in writing by Friday, June 14. Please refrain from requesting specific teachers or peers by name as these submissions will not be reviewed.
