A Note from Principal Briggs


Dear Parents,

We have had a successful two weeks of SOL testing in grades 3-6! We still have 6th grade Math and 5th grade Science next week. Please be sure to have your child in school on those testing days!

We continue to countdown the school year with our school spirit days. We hope everyone joins in the fun!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Sincerely,

Amy Briggs

 

Countdown

Parent Input form for 24-25 School Year

As we near the end of the school year, we'd like to provide an opportunity for families in our community to reflect on how their child(ren) have changed and grown over the past year and think about how their personalities and characteristics shape their experiences as a learner.  Gathering some brief information about each child will assist us in constructing class groupings for the 24-25 school year and provide your child's future teacher with valuable information from the family's perspective.  We will be collecting responses through May 24th.  Please fill out this Google form to capture your input. We look forward to working together with you as we plan the coming school year.
