As a reminder tomorrow is our annual water and field day. Here are a few reminders for the day.Please send a complete set of dry clothes and shoes with your child tomorrow.This includes socks and underwear. Your child will get wet. Your child may wear a bathing suit tomorrow; however, they will need to wear a shirt also. If they do not have a change of clothes, he or she will not be able to participate in the water activities. If you want your child to wear sunscreen, please put it on your child before they come to school. Thank you.
Another learning adventure in the books!! Camp Read-a-lot was a fun-filled journey through outdoor education and so much s'more. Thank you to Ms. Waugh for pitching this idea! We had so many wonderful parents volunteer their time to join us in teaching, cooking, crafting, etc. We broke out our new grill, courtesy of City National Bank, and were able to share camp themed food with all of our staff and volunteers. Our official Widmyer Author/Illustrator Ashley Belote came back to visit us again and brought her book 'The Me Tree." All in all it was a pretty great camping trip. Thanks to all who came along!!

Parents are asked to complete an online survey about school climate—the learning and teaching/working conditions—to help guide school improvement efforts. The results of this survey will be used to make changes in your child's school to ensure a supportive environment for teaching and learning. The survey may be completed from any computer with an internet connection.
Parent participation in the survey is very important. If parents have questions about the survey or problems completing the survey, they should contact their child's school. To protect parent/caregiver confidentiality, at least 10 parents must take the survey for results to be summarized for your school.
When parents log onto the survey, they will see explanatory information about the survey and the important information below as to their rights as a survey participant:
Your participation is voluntary. You may choose not to participate; not to answer any questions you do not want to answer; and you may stop participating at any time during the survey without penalty. Your responses will be anonymous and confidential.
