📚🎉 Field Day Fun on the Last Day of School!📚🎉
What a fantastic way to celebrate an amazing school year! Our students worked hard all year to grow their academic skills, and their efforts paid off in a BIG way. Through their dedication and learning, students earned water balloons for one of their favorite Field Day activities—throwing them at their teachers!💦😂
The laughter, excitement, and friendly competition made for unforgettable memories as students celebrated their accomplishments and the end of another successful school year.
We are so proud of all the growth, perseverance, and hard work our students demonstrated this year. Thank you to our staff, families, and volunteers for helping make this day so special.
Have a safe, fun, and relaxing summer!☀️🌈

Let’s work together to keep drop-off, pick-up, and dismissal safe and running smoothly! 🚗✨

Parking Lot Reminder
If you need to get out of your vehicle, please park in a designated spot rather than stopping in the traffic lane. This helps keep traffic moving safely. Staff will be outside to help direct cars during busy times.

You can track your child’s bus in real time with the FirstView app!
• District Code: 7959N
• Bus # = Trip # (Ex: Bus 10 → Trip 10 AM & Trip 10 PM)
Getting started is simple!
👉 Step 1: Download the free FirstView 1.0 app on iOS or Android.
👉 Step 2: Register for a new account & connect to your student’s trips (found in your Infinite Campus Parent Portal).
