We will be honoring a character student for each week. We are always on the lookout for bucket-filling character. Each month will be wrapped up with the character assembly which takes place on the last Thursday of each month.

Teachers Spotlight
Specials: Monday-Thursday 2:40-3:30 Friday 9:00-9:50 This year our specials will rotate to ensure every class receives the same amount of instruction from each enrichment teacher. We are using the acronym SMILE instead of days of the week. For example, if we have a day off of school on Monday, the special the students would have attended Monday will be pushed to Tuesday. Library will only be 30 minutes long and running shoes are required on PE days.
