Attendance Matters!
Last week, our students reached 91% attendance! 🎉 That’s a powerful step forward. Our year-long goal is 95%, and with your encouragement and partnership with families, I know we can get there. Each day of learning matters, and together we’ll help our Eagles show up, rise up, and succeed.

Quick Decision Tips for Parents - Ask Yourself:
1. Does my child have a fever? → If yes, stay home
2. Are they acting like their normal self? → If no, consider staying home
3. Can they participate in regular activities? → If no, stay home
4. Could they spread something to other kids? → If yes, stay home
Remember: When in doubt, contact nurse Lupe. She is there to help you make the best decision for everyone's health.
Please note: Instant noodles that require microwaving are not allowed, as we only have one microwave available.
The Gifted and Talented department has updated the grade levels for universal GT screening. Previously, screening was conducted in Kindergarten, 2nd, and 6th grades. This year, it will only be offered in 1st and 5th grades. As a result, current Kindergarten and 2nd-grade students will not have automatic screening and should be encouraged to apply through the opt-in process.
