2023-2024 School Calendar
Approved 2024-2025 School Calendar
A Word From Mrs. Soltysik- Principal and Mrs. Rasmussen- Assistant Principal
We have a lot of fun planned for the last weeks of school and excitedly many of these events provide opportunities for families to be involved! May and June will be filled with field trips, concerts, field days, family events, the elementary art show, and a kick off to summer reading night with the Scholastic Book Fair!
Be sure to mark your calendars:

Also, during these last few weeks we will begin to gather end of the year data on our students and celebrate the growth they have made this past school year. As you begin to think of summer please remember to get creative when it comes to continuing learning at home. For example, involving your children in cooking/meal prep provides opportunities for them to practice measurement and essential math skills. Signing up at the local library and participating in their local summer reading programs is a great way to tie reading with an incentive attached. Going for walks outside and talking about what you observe is a great way to build background knowledge in science!
We continue to be extremely grateful for your partnership in learning!
