Change the Dates...

Grades 3-5 Science Fair

It’s not too late for our students in Grades 3-5 to participate in the Science Fair.  Because of yesterday’s storm the Science Fair has been rescheduled to Tuesday, March 21.  It will be held in the gym from 4-5.  This is a great opportunity for our budding scientists to dig deeper into a topic of interest.

Our young scientists in grades k-2 were eager to share their discoveries, much to the delight of their audience.  

I want to express my gratitude to Wyatt Oswald for organizing and facilitating this wonderful event for our students.  It’s experiences like these that encourage collaboration, problem solving, critical thinking, presentation skills, and most importantly, a love of learning!

Grade 5 Moving On Ceremony

With spring days away I’m hopeful that snow days are behind us.  This year the Moving On Ceremony for fifth grade students will be held on Monday, June 26th, beginning at 6:00 in the gym.


Friendly Reminders

The snow has wreaked havoc with our arrival and dismissal routines.  The DPW and custodians have been working incredibly hard to ensure that our sidewalks and parking lots are clear of snow and ice, but Mother Nature has been especially brutal.  I assure you that we will continue to work to improve the conditions of our school grounds.

To ensure the safety of our students it is more important than ever to follow our morning and afternoon routines.  Please:

  • Park in marked spots.  Parking on Bates Road causes our flow of traffic to come to a grinding halt.
  • Do not park in the car pick up line.
  • Use the Car Pick Up and Drop Off line on Bates Road only.  Accessing the adjacent neighborhood streets jeopardizes the safety of our students who walk to school.
