Hello All!

I hope everyone is as excited about spring as I am.  I love this time of year and how all of the colors make our world a beautiful place to be in.  You can see the excitement on our student's faces and how anxious they are to get outside at the end of the day!

I wanted to remind you of a few things dealing with school policy.  Please review our dress code and make sure our students are wearing appropriate attire at all times.  Don't allow any type of clothing that would take away from the opportunity for students to learn.  We must keep our focus on education and keep the distractions to a minimum.  I also wanted to remind students to stay focused during class and allow everyone to learn!  Our handbook states that if anyone is disrupting the environment and not allowing others to learn then we can remove students that are not cooperating.  We have only four weeks until the ISTEP test and we want every moment to count.

The excitement is building toward our eighth grade Washington D.C. trip, spring weather and the end of the school year.  Please help our students stay focused so we end the year on a positive note.  We need the students to remember the race is not over and we need to finish strong.  ISTEP starts the week of April 29th, and this is one of the most important weeks of the year.  Please make sure your student is well rested and has breakfast each day!

Please let  me know if you have any questions and feel free to stop by the office at any time!
