What is Virtual Friday for Elementary? Virtual Fridays in the elementary will look much like a normal school day for us. We will be teaching, reviewing, and pulling small groups to meet students' academic needs. We are encouraging all students to attend, however, if your family chooses to take advantage of this day you will need to let your child's teacher know. Please communicate with your child’s teacher the day before to request a device. There will be no new assignments assigned on Fridays, and the student can work independently on the educational websites they use at school and read. We will not be sending home hotspots. It is very important that if your child takes a device home they bring it back, as they use them every day. Attendance will not be held against anyone on Virtual Fridays. However, if your child is struggling academically and needing support, your child’s teacher may request that they come on Fridays. This will start Friday, October 30th. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for your support and flexibility! Mrs. Curry 

We are looking forward to speaking with you all at conferences this week. Please take a moment to fill out our brief survey. Thank you and we appreciate your input! Mrs. Curry https://forms.gle/rtxDpFMwo8HxkD479

Please read this important safety message. Car rider line for the elementary ends at 8 am each morning. According to our handbook policy, if you bring your child after that time they will need to be checked in at the K-1 or 2-4 office and will be counted tardy. After 8 am there are no adults present to unload your child and we do not allow the students to get out of the car by themselves without a staff member. Safety is a top priority for all students and it is vital they are not dropped off without an adult present. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter and I appreciate your support in following our school policies. Mrs. Curry

This week there will be no elementary FACES programing after school on Tues, October 20th and Thursday, October 22nd, due to parent teacher conferences on those two evenings. If your child attends FACES on either of those days, and you have special instructions on how they are to go home on Tuesday and Thursday of this week, please contact the school office by note or phone call.

Good afternoon! We have almost made it through the first nine weeks successfully! Thank you for your support, cooperation, and trust in us with your child each day! We appreciate that you, as parents/guardians, are a vital part of our team that works together to provide the best environment for your child to grow! Next week we will be having Targeted Parent-Teacher Conferences next week on Tuesday, October 20th, and Thursday, October 22nd from 3:30-6:30 PM. To safely conduct conferences this year, teachers will or may already have scheduled appointments with you. Should you need to communicate with a teacher, please contact her/him to schedule an appointment. Appointments may be held face to face, by phone, or virtually. All conferences are being held by appointment only. Face masks and health screenings are required to enter the buildings. All parents are encouraged to reach out to teachers at any time they have questions or concerns. Thank you for your understanding as we have to undertake these conferences in this manner and for your continued support this school year! Mrs. Curry
