The teachers and I look forward to working with you this coming year.  We are anticipating an exciting year of learning and community building. We hope to meet everyone during our school sponsored events. I would like to take this opportunity to share information you will need to know for the 2018-2019 school year.  

  • The first day of school for students in grades 1-5 is Wednesday, September 5, 2018.  
  • Kindergarten screening will be held on Wednesday-September 5th and Thursday-September 6th (you should have received an appointment in the mail).  The first full day of school for Kindergarten students is on Tuesday, September 11, 2018.
