Elementary Halloween Parties:
Halloween parties will be October 31 at 9 AM. Followed by the grand March at 10 AM.
Parties are only open to Second and Fifth grade classes with a limit of two visitors per student. (Other grades have chosen open parties at a later date.)
Anyone coming to the open parties in second and fifth grade will need to check in using our raptor ID system so you will need an ID just like we did for grandparent/special person day. We now have two scanners so it will go quicker.
We will start scanning IDs at 8:15. Once you have been scanned, we will still need you to wait to head to the classrooms at nine and remember please be patient with us. This is our first time scanning IDs for parties and getting parties back up and running so we will have to work through some kinks.
Red Ribbon Week
Thank you to Twin Pines and the Dickerson Park Zoo for bringing Owl-O-Ween to us this year. PreK thru 2nd grade got to view four different kinds of Owls. The screech owl, the barn owl, the bar owl, and the great horned owl.

Our 3rd-grade classes engaged in a book tasting event last Friday discovering different genres of books. Donuts and juice complemented the experience perfectly! Students enjoyed sampling various books while savoring treats. Many discovered new preferred genres and are now enthusiastic about reading more. The teacher effectively utilized this opportunity as well. Later that afternoon, they had a paper airplane competition.
5th grade has been working on understanding dominant vs recessive traits. They “inherited” various traits they had to draw, then partnered up and used Punnett squares to determine likely traits of the offspring.
