Off and running!
We're well into our second week of school for the 2013-2014 school year! The beginning of school is exciting for children, as well as teachers, and our students and teachers are no exception! The building is buzzing with new friends learning the expectations and meeting new friends, while old friends are jumping up and down to see their teachers and classmates again.
As always, the staff has many new ideas to make this year even better than the last. To stay posted and aware of events happening at our school, be mindful of the flyers and information that you will find in your child's sign in/out folder.
Last night we enjoyed getting a chance to speak with parents in more detail about our plans for this year at our Back to School Night. If you missed this opportunity, please plan to attend the next parent nights we host. Parent involvement is important and by attending after school activities and meeting with your child's teacher for conferences, you are showing your child in another way how much you value the work they put in to their education.
If you have an idea for an after school activity with other parents, for our students, or both, please speak with Mrs. Kosanke or Mrs. Majka in the office.
