Parent Night for Wizard of Oz: if you came to this meeting but could not get into the building, we apologize. We don't use the city doors for theater events. We failed to realize that people might not know that. Children are welcome to audition without the Parent Information Night. All the paperwork will still be there on Saturday or Sunday during auditions!!

The kindergarten team has started utilizing the house model for literacy block. This allows students to be placed in classrooms based off current skill level, and gives them the opportunity to be immersed in an enriching environment which meets individual student needs. Here is a snapshot of what some students have been working on: name building with cheesy puff letters, popcorn letters & sounds with a yummy snack, decodable passages with highlighters & blending boards, and vowel bat capes!
