Reminder- No School on Wednesday, Sept. 21st for Professional Development.

Dear Parent/Guardian(s): This month, our school wide theme is skills for learning: listening, focusing attention, using self-talk to stay on-task, and being assertive when asking for help with a learning task. In our morning announcements, we’ll be reminding students of these skills, which help students be successful learners. Second Step lessons teach skills for learning. You’ll be receiving Home Links describing why these skills are important and including fun activities to do with your child to practice them. We hope you enjoy them! Please tell your child’s teacher if you’d like more suggestions about supporting skills for learning at home. Yours in Education, Mr. Sudol

Yesterday was International Literacy Day so we wanted to give a quick shout out to our awesome library teacher, Mrs. Vaske!!

Mr. Sudol hung out with the preschool kiddos at recess and joined in on the fun! And on the Kindergarten side they have a new "up slide"! Kids love climbing up slides, so to keep it safe we designated one slide to only go up, not down!
