We are excited to announce that we will be conducting Friday assemblies in the gym starting March 11, as long as COVID cases remain low. We will be doing this by wing, instead of whole school. We are starting with the 3-5 hallway. See the schedule below.

Teachers will continue to submit their cultural awareness presentations to Robyn electronically because the two wings that aren’t in the gym will need to show morning assembly in their classrooms.

Please see the seating chart below. We recommend that the younger grades take their students to the gym prior to their in-person assembly day to get them familiar with the seating chart to expedite arrival and dismissal. It’s important that assembly be done by 8:15 so PE and classroom instruction are not delayed.

March 11

On Friday, we will have PM specials and an abbreviated recess schedule (see below).

Conference Meals

For conferences, our PTO will be providing a nacho and baked potato bar on Thursday for lunch/dinner. In addition, there will be broccoli cheese, turkey chili, and chicken and wild rice soups from Panera on Friday for you to grab and go.

We are extremely spoiled by our PTO! Please make sure you say thank you when you see them next week working the book fair.

Chromebooks

Since we no longer contact trace nor provide virtual instruction during snow days, the admin team is no longer requiring students to take their Chromebook home every day. This will be left to teacher discretion.
