A Message from Mrs. Singletary

Mrs. Singletary
This week we started some mid-year testing and the data coming back looks really promising. We recognize how hard our students & staff have been working this school year and it is rewarding to see it pay off in student learning results! Eagle Clap!!  Have a great weekend.

Drop off and Pick up

To ensure a safe and smooth drop-off and pick-up experience for everyone, please make note of the following parking updates:
  • South Parking Lot: This lot is reserved for Staff Only. Please use the designated visitor or parent lots for drop-off and parking.
  • Accessible (Handicap) Parking: Please be respectful of our community members who require accessible parking. Do not park or idle in marked handicap spaces unless you have a valid permit or placard visible.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our parking lots safe and accessible for everyone!

Lost and Found

Hello Parents/Guardians,
Our Lost and Found collection is starting to fill up again quickly! We have accumulated many items recently.
Please take a moment to check with your student to see if they are missing any coats, lunchboxes, water bottles, or other belongings.
A Friendly Reminder:
  • Labeling Helps! We are finding that many of the lost items that have been labeled with a student's name are much easier for us to return directly to the owner. This saves us time and ensures your child gets their property back promptly.

End of Day Change of Plans

Please Parent Square or email the office by 3:00 PM if your student has a change of plans for the end of the day. We have many activities happening during this time, and having the change in writing helps ensure we get the message to your child correctly. Thank you!

Birthday Treats or Snacks for the Class

If you plan to send in birthday treats for your child's class, or snacks, please make sure they are bite-sized and meet our district wellness policy.
As outlined in District Policy 6700P:
  • all foods brought for celebrations must meet or exceed the USDA Smart Snacks in School nutrition standards.
  • The district provides healthy party ideas and non-food celebration options.
Thank you for helping us celebrate in a way that keeps all students safe and healthy.
  • We also have space available if snack items need refrigerated.
