August 2023

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Although we are still enjoying our fun days in the summer sun, relaxing at the beach, or readying for that final vacation getaway, the start of school will soon be here! September brings the end of vacation, but the excitement and of new way to start school.

Our custodians have been working hard to get the school clean and ready for your children’s arrival. The teachers have been taking special care in setting up the classes to make sure they are ready for learning. Everyone is looking forward to seeing the new kindergarteners and welcoming back the students who we know have grown so much over the summer!

Please read and return the yellow dismissal form enclosed with this mailing. Please check the virtual backpack for all forms needing a signature, including the School/Parent Compact and General Allergy letter. Please note the district Allergy Policy states “Parent and students will not be permitted to bring any food (s) into school for birthday celebrations. Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ baked goods and other foods prepared at home are only to be used for individual consumption. No goody bags or items are to be brought in for the class.” Therefore, we will not be distributing any goody bags or items from home during the school year. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

All incoming Kindergarteners, please be on the lookout for a Parent Square email with an automated invite to join Parent Square. It will be sent to the email you shared during registration.
