Happy New Year! We hope you and your children had a wonderful winter break and enjoyed the recent snow. As we step into this new year, we are excited to welcome your students back to school.
Attendance plays a critical role in your child's learning and overall success. Each day provides opportunities for growth, connection, and achievement. Please make every effort to ensure your child attends school daily, as every moment matters.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support. We look forward to an amazing second half of the school year!

With winter weather upon us, please make sure your child is clothed appropriately. All coats, hats, and gloves should be labeled with their name. If you need assistance securing necessary outerwear, please contact our school social worker, Michelle Wenz, at [email protected] and she can assist in connecting you with available resources.
Literacy Resources for FamiliesA new Literacy Resources for Families webpage has been published to the external web to provide families with information about how to support their children with developing literacy knowledge and skills at home. It provides valuable information about the reading and writing resources to be used at home, the VALLSS, Reading Plans, guidance for Parent Teacher Conferences, and training available through the Family Academy. There is also a Family-Facing Curriculum web page that explains what your children are learning and when they are learning it. Please reach out to your child's teacher with any clarifying questions.
