From the Desk of the Principal

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year! We are excited to get a new year started and are looking forward to watching your student(s) grow and learn. Please make sure that all of your contact information is update so we are able to reach you in the event of an illness or emergency. Your contact information will also be used when sending out building and district wide texts, so please keep us updated on any changes in phone numbers.

As in the past, you are able to find building specific information on Facebook. Our PTO also has a page on Facebook and it is a great place to find out about upcoming events for the building, as well as, information about volunteering in our building.

We are excited that our district is still able to provide free breakfast and lunch to our students. Breakfast is served at 8:39 when the building opens. The school day starts at 8:53.

Once again, welcome back, we are excited to start another great year!

Reminders

ATTENDANCE: Although a students attendance is vital to their success in school, we realize that things happen. If your student(s) are not able to attend school due to an illness, please call the school office to report the absence so Mrs. Ruff can mark it as an EXPLAINED absence.

Any student arriving between 9:00 - 9:19 am will be be marked TARDY and will need to be signed in by a parent or guardian. Any student arriving at school after 9:20 am will be marked ABSENT for morning attendance.

Once a student accumulates 6 absences, there will be an attendance letter sent home.
