Due to the forecasted extreme heat and the resulting conditions in our classrooms, we will be implementing an early dismissal tomorrow 6/12 to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our students and staff.
While we always strive to maintain a regular school schedule, the anticipated temperatures and classroom conditions are expected to make it difficult to provide a safe and comfortable learning environment throughout the day.
Students will be dismissed at 12:08PM. Please make any necessary arrangements for your child’s early arrival home. All transportation services will operate on the early dismissal schedule.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the safety of our school community.
🌿♻️ That's a wrap on another amazing year with the Environmental Club! A huge thank you to all of our members for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to making a positive difference in our school and community.

🇺🇸 Yesterday, our 5th graders traveled back in time during their field trip to the Liberty Hall Museum! Students explored colonial life, learned about the events leading up to the American Revolution, and experienced history in a hands-on and engaging way.
It was a wonderful opportunity to bring classroom learning to life and deepen our understanding of our nation's past.
