Cookies and Conversations!
Our third-grade teachers welcomed families for an evening of learning and connection! Parents learned about student data, FAST assessments, and ways to support their child's success at home. Families enjoyed cookies, received helpful resources, and took home a free homework pass!
Thank you to our wonderful teachers and families for making this event a success!
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - The countdown is on — just ONE month until the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 10.

We can't wait to welcome everyone back for another amazing year!
