Weekly Parent Newsletter for Jan. 13-17

Posted Date: 1/11/25 (9:59 PM)

Principal’s Message

Parents/Guardians,
This last week got a little interesting with weather but we made it though the week.  Please remember to send your child to school with a coat each day in the coming weeks/months while it is still cold.  I suggest that you put their names on the inside of the coat so we can find it easily if it gets lost or ends up in the lost and found.
Stay warm this weekend and we will see everyone on Monday.
Thanks for partnering with us,
Mrs. Whitlark
