Announcements for November 30

We celebrated the end of the 2nd 6 weeks with a great CHAMPs Assembly.  Thank you to our students for their hard work, to our teachers for their commitment to helping every child learn and our parents for your partnership and support in helping your child learn.

For the 2nd 6 weeks, we established another attendance record of 95.7%.  Great job to everyone.  We also experienced fewer children in the office for behavior infractions.  That is due to our teachers creating great instruction and structured and positive learning environments where students want to behave and learn.

December is here, and Christmas Break is upon us.  We have a lot of activities planned for next month so here is a list of events and Christmas performances in our community.
