Thursday, Nov 5, 5:30-6:30pm: Come tour your child’s classroom, explore student work, and see everything they’ve been learning and creating!

Thursday, Nov 5: Families who missed picture day/would like a retake can preorder makeup portraits here. Please let your students’ teacher know if you’d like one. Preordered packages can be exchanged for a retake at no extra charge.

View and order pictures here. (Makeup portraits will be available about 2 weeks after taking them).

Oct 30 – Nov 13: This is our biggest fundraiser of the year! Please check your student’s backpack for a golden envelope. We ask each family to give an amount that is meaningful to them – every contribution of any size helps, especially with the recent SPS budget cuts.  

Please send the golden envelope back to school with your child by 11/13. You can also drop it off at the school office.  If 80% of envelopes are returned school wide, we will have a very special visitor at the November all-school assembly. Classes with 100% participation will have their own meet & greet!

Friday, Oct 30 : Our spirit day theme for October’s assembly is “Dress Your Best”. Think of it as a special occasion and an opportunity to wear your finest clothes and showcase your personal style.

There will be prizes for both Best Dressed and Most Participation to classes in both the K-2 and 3-5 grade bands, so let’s see your school spirit shine!

The PTSA is excited to introduce four new STEM Maker Carts for our students! We have three grade-level carts (K–1, 2–3, and 4–5) plus a school-wide cart: “Make Your Own Robot Then Write a Story About It.”

These mobile carts bring hands-on building, creative problem-solving, and extra fun in science, technology, engineering, and math directly into our classrooms. Each cart comes with curriculum aligned to district learning goals to make integration seamless for our teachers.

Here are a few more items we’re looking for, if you have extras or some lying around at home: small plastic bottles, plastic or metal lids, TP and paper towel rolls, craft supplies, twisty ties, corks, clothespins, buttons, coffee Filters, cotton Balls / Q-Tips. Please drop them off in the large box outside the office.
