We will be conducting our yearly literacy screener VALLSS beginning on Monday August 18th. This screener is given each year to help determine what reading skills, interventions, and extensions students may need in the upcoming year. More about the VALLSS screener can be found online at https://literacy.virginia.edu/families

Due to impending weather, we will postpone our farm community night until next Wednesday, the 20th from 5-7. Thanks!

True walkers/bike riders will still be dismissed from the front. Thank you for your understanding. If you need to message your teacher to change to a car rider, please send them a message to let them know. Thank you!

Good afternoon, all! We cannot dismiss "walkers" that get in cars from the front due to safety concerns. If you are picking your child up in a car, please go around to the back starting tomorrow. We start dismissing at 2:40.
