• Summer Assignments

  Dear Parents and Guardians,    

  As we approach the summer break, we want to ensure that our students continue to grow academically while enjoying a well-deserved rest. To support this balance, we have prepared a set of summer homework assignments designed to reinforce key concepts from the past school year and prepare students for the year ahead. These activities are intended to be engaging, manageable, and beneficial in maintaining the progress your child has made. 

  Please CLICK the link below to access your child's summer assignments for the grade they are going to in September!

• ParentSquare

  Our school is using ParentSquare!
  
  * What is ParentSquare:
  
  ParentSquare is a parent engagement tool that helps teachers and staff easily communicate and collaborate with parents. ParentSquare will now be used to send messages to families, share pictures and request participation. Parent Square will be used to communicate with families in grades Pre-K through Grade 8!
  
  * Replacing ClassDojo and Remind:
  
  We will use Parent Square to communicate with you and keep you informed about what your child is doing in class, send out reminders and share other information. It will replace ClassDojo and Remind. We will continue to use Operoo (for now) as an additional communication tool school wide.
  
  * ParentSquare Launch:
  
  We launched ParentSquare, school-wide, on Tuesday! All families were invited to join ParentSquare through an email sent out Wednesday afternoon. ParentSquare was explained at the PTA meeting last night. We need everyone linked to the ParentSquare account by November 28th.
