Mission: Learning Today. Leading Tomorrow.

From the Principal:

Next month students, in grades 2nd through 5th, will be taking some important state tests. Please continue to help your child by reading to and with them every night.

We will be having a Terra Nova/MAP Night along with PTA meeting on the 18th of March from 6:00-7:30PM. We will vote on our new officers and share with you some MAP strategies that we have been sharing with your children. We will provide dinner. Look for more information to come home at a later date.

Thank you to our Partner in Education, Christ Episcopal, for sending our first graders to watch "Pinnochio" on the 9th of March.

Fifth Grade Parents: If you desire for your child to attend a middle school OTHER than the school that serves your address, a transfer request form must be completed. Transfers are approved based on building capacity and the order in which the transfers are received. The transfer forms may be picked up in the principal's office. The transfer form needs to be completed and sent to the principal of the school the child is requesting to attend. It is the responsibility of the parent/legal guardian to send the transfer form to the requested school.

Mrs. Marcie Stallcup
