Important Reminders

AM/PM Drop Off and Pickup
Our timing is much improved and we are very close to our goal of a 10-minute pickup and drop off window. Drop off begins at 8:48 and pickup begins as close to 3:35 as possible. Please remember the following:
  • All cars can use both lanes regardless of grade level. Preschool should make every effort to use the right lane and pull as far forward as possible so other cars can get around you if you are buckling a car seat.
  • We will begin opening all three lanes both morning and afternoon and will call six cars at a time. It doesn't matter what lane you choose, it will be first come, first served. Again, preschool should make every effort to use the right two lanes to make it easier to move to the far right drop off lane.
  • Please be patient and kind to our parking lot staff.
Picture Day Order forms
Picture day is Tuesday, September 16th! Order forms are being sent home today and families should have also received an email from O'Connor Studios to purchase packages through their online payment option. We look forward to seeing those bright smiling faces!

Academic Corner: Upcoming Exams and Test Preparation

Next week, students in grades K-3 will begin the NWEA MAP Growth assessments in Reading and Math. This provides us with valuable information about each student's current proficiency level and continued growth year over year. We have also been busy completing Kindergarten screeners for those who did not get screened in the spring. K families, we appreciate you completing the parent survey that is part of the screener.
