Parents and Guardians,
As we were preparing to send home yearbooks, we found a lot of misprinted ones. We do have enough correctly printed yearbooks to send home with third through fifth grade students who pre-ordered. These will be sent home on Friday, May 8. Students in kindergarten through second grade who pre-ordered yearbooks will receive them as soon as the correct books arrive. Due to the misprint issue, we are unable to sell yearbooks at this time but will update as soon as possible.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we wait for the production company to correct this.
Thank you.

This week, as first graders were wrapping up our Open Court unit, Red, White, and Blue, Mrs. Middleton was kind enough to visit each first-grade class and share special family treasures that belonged to her veteran grandfather. Our first graders loved being able to make connections to the information they had been reading.

Thank you, Mrs. Middleton!
