Today, our students were already hard at work:
• 3rd Grade Math explored relationships between numbers.
•2nd grade reviewed number bonds.
• 4th Grade Math focused on place value.
• 5th Grade readers learned about Shinpei Mykawa.
• 4th Grade Reading identified relevant + irrelevant details.
• 3rd Grade Reading focused on main + secondary characters.
• Kindergarten practiced rhyming words in Spanish using the Heggerty curriculum.

Thank you to our amazing staff, students, + parents for making the 1st Day a success! We are excited for a wonderful year of growth!✨💫🌟

And to the parents who had their car tags displayed on the dashboard—you are the real MVP! 🫶🏽 Thank you for helping our car line move!

🚦Please use the traffic visual for drop-off and pick-up.

SIBLINGS: If your child has a younger sibling in Pre-K, Kindergarten, or 1st grade, please use the back of the school on 22nd.

‼️All parents must have a pick-up tag.
PRO TIP: Place the tag on your dashboard to help the line move faster.

If you did not receive a pick-up tag at Meet the Teacher, stop by the office in the morning. Remaining tags will be sent home on the first day of school.

➡️Pre-K & Kindergarten: Students must have a backpack tag.

➡️Second Grade: Students are now picked up in front of the school on 21st Street.

Following this guidance will help our traffic move faster & more smoothly.
