Winter Concert: December 16th

We are thrilled to invite you to our Winter Concert on Tuesday, December 16th. This event will showcase the incredible talents of our 2nd through 8th-grade musicians. Our students have been practicing diligently, and we look forward to a wonderful evening of music. Our PTO will also be selling baked goods to support our music program.

To ensure that every performer receives the focus and respect they deserve, we kindly ask all attendees to observe the following audience etiquette:

 

Stay Seated: Please remain in your seat throughout each individual performance.

Transitions: If you need to arrive late or leave early, please only move between performances, not while students are playing.

Silent Devices: Please ensure all cell phones and electronic devices are silenced before the concert begins.

Supervision: For safety and to maintain a quiet environment, children should remain seated with their parents at all times when they are not on stage performing.

transportation Survey & Updates

Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete our recent Transportation Survey. Your feedback is invaluable as we work to improve our routes and services.

I want to share a quick update regarding our next steps:

Current Status: Due to the logistics of our existing routes, we are unable to make any adjustments prior to the winter break.

Looking Ahead: We are currently reviewing your input to finalize necessary changes. I will communicate with you directly next week to confirm the details for adjustments that will take effect in the new year.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in making our school a wonderful place for our students to learn and grow.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As the weather starts to get colder it's important to remember to send your children to school with proper outerwear. Please use the infographic below as a guide for what each student needs to be comfortable outside during recess. If you are in need of assistance with winter gear please don't hesitate to contact me directly so I can connect you with local resources.

Thanks,

Nurse Ashley
