Reminders

  • Start the Day Strong! School doors open at 8:15 AM and classrooms open at 8:30 AM. From 8:30–8:45 AM students participate in important connection and community-building activities that help them feel prepared for the day. Please have your Panther in the building by 8:30 AM.
  • Stay Cool Panthers! With recent heat advisories please send students with a water bottle each day. Students can refill their bottles throughout the day. During heat advisories PE and/or recess may be moved indoors for student safety.
  • Delayed Dismissal: Please review the delayed dismissal procedures previously shared with families. We also encourage families to pick up their delayed dismissal tag. Having your tag ready will help us move the process along more quickly if another delayed dismissal is necessary. Thank you for your continued patience!

Important Announcements

During the first few weeks of school students will participate in beginning-of-year assessments and diagnostic testing. These assessments help our teachers understand what students already know and where they may need additional support. This information allows us to meet students where they are and plan instruction that supports their individual learning needs.

Parent Tips

A Strong Morning Starts the Night Before!
Nighttime routines are just as important as morning routines. A consistent bedtime helps children arrive rested and ready to learn.
Try creating a simple nightly routine: prepare for tomorrow, read together and get to bed at a consistent time. Small routines at night can make a BIG difference in the morning!
