Principal News


I would like to thank all the parents who came out for parent teacher conferences.  We had a great turnout and the teachers really appreciated speaking with their parents.  Also, a great big thank you to the PTO and the parents who donated time and food for the staff during these long days.  We can't say enough about how nice it is to have food and beverages available to us on the late evenings. Thank you!


HALLOWEEN Information

We will again have our Halloween Parade outside at 9:15 on the 31st.  Parents wanting to watch may stand outside the building as the students parade around the perimeter.  Costumes should be comfortable to wear all day, no weapons, blood or gore and nothing covering the face throughout the day.  Classroom celebration information will come from your child's teacher.  Please check their newsletters/emails for important times and needs regarding Halloween.

Happy Diwali! We want to recognize this Hindu religious holiday (which falls on Monday, October 24th in 2022) that celebrates the new year. Other groups observe their unique versions of this holiday including Jains and Sikhs. Diwali is a major holiday in India but is also celebrated in other countries including Nepal, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Mauritius, Fiji, Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago. The name Diwali comes from the Sanskrit word that means “row of lights.” The festivities last for 5 days! For more information about how this colorful cultural holiday is celebrated click on this National Geographic Kids link.


Trunk or Treat! It’s time for our 2nd annual trunk or treat on Oct. 28th at 5pm. We can’t do this without our wonderful volunteers that will make trunks! Please sign up today!
