We will not release students to parents parked in the parking lot. You must meet your child at the flag pole.

Astronotes for March 28, 2018

Astronotes March 28, 2018

 

All our Easter events are going on today.  The kindergarten has their Easter egg hunt and egg drop today with the locations depending on the weather.  I enjoy the excitement they display is locating eggs on the hunt and hoping their egg survives the drop.

Next week we have the Grand Opera performances at 12:00 and 1:15.   We have been fortunate this year to have many cultural events at our campus. Thanks to Ms. Brown for bringing these groups to our school so that our children get to experience the arts.

The end of the 3rd nine weeks is Monday, April 2nd.  Report cards will be going home on Thursday and Success Assemblies will be held Friday at their usual times.  Since kindergarten will be on a field trip Friday, we will celebrate their successes on Monday, April 9th.

Happy a great Easter Break!!!
