A parent surprised Mrs. Smith this morning with a gift card at her crossing guard position. This was such a great act of kindness from a wonderful parent recognizing all of the hard work and dedication Mrs. Smith exhibits each day to support the safety of our students, parents and staff. She starts the day and ends the day at the crossing guard position…rain, snow or sun…with a smile!

Attendance is so important. Good attendance is one of the most important single factors that contribute to greater levels of achievement by our students. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that students be in class. Regular attendance and punctuality enhance opportunities for student success and we expect parents/guardians to help us in reaching this goal. Successful students take advantage of, and are engaged in, as many instructional minutes as possible. We will win in this arena by getting all our kids in front of our staff and in our buildings. This will be the greatest strategy for increased student achievement.
We respect that some appointments or obligations will require you to pick-up your child(ren) early from school. If you have an appointment and you must pick up your child early, please expect delays and please come before 2:45 pm. In the spirit of safety, our dismissal process involves all staff and it is very difficult to have staff get a student early from their classroom and bring them to the office between 2:45 and 3:20 pm. Please refrain from picking-up children early from school. This greatly affects our safe and efficient dismissal process. We do not have extra staff to easily get students from class prior to our 3:20 dismissal. Thank you for your continued support. Go Roadrunners!
