Pre-School through 6th Grade Students!
Teachers will be contacting you once they return to duty on August 12th, to arrange for their home visit with you. This is a great time for the teacher, students, and family to get to know each other and express expectations for the upcoming school year! The home packet will also include any forms that need to be completed. Home visits will be scheduled by teachers for students in Pre-Kindergarten through the 6th grade.
Attention 7th and 8th Grade Parents and Students!
Parents of 7th and 8th graders are asked to stop at the 7/8 grade table in the gym during Back-to-School Night to pick up your parent packet and visit with your student's teachers. Knowing that you are pros at this process by now, we figured you might appreciate not having to attend another meeting! If you are unable to stop by the table, your packet will be mailed to you.

We are grateful to have a volunteer who is willing to get the Campbell UPCs and Boxtops for Education ready for submission. We're asking that you help her out as much as possible. Please submit your Campbell's UPCs in an envelope or small lunch bag. Remember that we do not need the entire label anymore, just the UPCs. We would appreciate it if you would separate the Campbells program from the Boxtops for Education. Two bins are located in the west entryway for your submission. Please place your boxtops in a separate envelope when you are submitting them from the Campbell UPCs. This would help her out so much when it comes time to get them ready for submission. Thank you for your support and help in collecting these items that benefit our school! For any questions, please feel free to call the school office.
