We wish to take this time to thank all of you who have donated classroom supplies, volunteered on field trips, and/or came in for Teach-In. We truly appreciate your support.

“It takes a village to raise a child”

The end of the school year is a busy and exciting time of the year. Please help us in reminding your child that we still have work to do until the last day of school. We also expect the code of student conduct to be followed, no exceptions.

The Orange County Regional Historical Center Field Trip is Friday May 4th. There is no cost this year for the trip. You must be sure to complete a permission slip that will be coming home next week.
