May & June Coming Events

Principal Message

The final two months of the school year are upon us.  One thing that is certain is time will pass quickly! Students are encouraged to reflect on their learning journey to date and make plans to take whatever additional measures are needed to ensure goals are met by June.  Ask questions about your progress, what can be improved and how to make it happen.

May and June will feature a wide variety of activities to engage students and families in alternate learning opportunities. This includes a variety of educational excursions and special events.

We encourage you to keep a close eye on announcements that come home with your child and to check the school website or class blogs to keep track of all the amazing happenings in our school.  We would like to offer a big THANK YOU to all of the staff members who organize these events, volunteers who accompany classes, and the families who support us in a wide variety of ways.
