Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week THIS WEEK: May 3-7
Please consider showing our teachers and staff how much they are appreciated! The PTO is provide lunch from Upper Crust Pizza Company food truck today and has a few other surprises planned this week.
Ideas of ways to show your appreciation:
- Plant
- Flowers
- A letter of appreciation
- A picture drawn by your child
- Goody bag
- Gift certificate
- An item they want for their classroom
Please remember that many classrooms (like all of Kindergarten) have an Instructional Assistant (IA) in their classroom and we definitely appreciate them too! Feel free to spread some love to any of the resource teachers and staff as well!
Thank you for helping show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate them!
Message from Mrs. Steele, Principal
Each year, we send home a survey to gather feedback on how we as a school are supporting our students and families. Typically, this survey includes feedback for various events we host here at school, but due to our COVID protocols, we were not able to offer those this year. We would really appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to answer our survey regarding our other Title One Reading Services. We only need 1 survey PER FAMILY. Thank you so much!!
