From Our Principal
Spring conferences are in-person on Tuesday, March 12th (5-8 pm), Wednesday, March 13th (5-8 pm), and virtually on Friday, March 15th from 1:00-4:00. Please schedule one conference with your child’s teacher. Click on Delta Center's Conference Link. Be sure to check out our annual book fair in the library during the evening conference times.
Coming home today, students will have their own copy of our One School, One Book "BAT and the Waiting Game", which is the sequel to the book we read last year, "A Boy Called BAT". Thankfully, our generous PTO purchased these for our students; siblings will share a copy.
If you drop your child off after 9:00 am, they are considered tardy and an adult must check them in upon arrival with the office.
If your child has an appointment and needs to leave school early, students will be called to the office upon parent/guardian’s arrival. To excuse your child from tardies/absences, please provide the office with a copy of the doctor’s note.
As always, if you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Birthday Treats
Our classes do not have students bring in birthday treats. We have a number of food related allergies across the building so that is a practice we have not done for quite a number of years now. If your child wants to bring something for the class, it can be non-edible items like bookmarks, pencils, etc.
Thank you for helping to keep our students safe!
