Early Release Schedule

Students will dismiss at 1pm on Tuesday, June 18th and Wednesday, June 19th. A reminder call will go to families but please remind any families you communicate with between now and then. Also there is NO CASP or after school program on those early release days so please make sure you know how students will be getting home. Here is the schedule for those two days.

Movies in School & Outdoor Play

June has arrived but there is a lot of learning time that remains. Movies and additional outdoor play should not replace classroom instruction. There are two ways movies/additional outdoor play can be used effectively during instructional time:
1) it is a video on the content and learning standards being studied for that grade level
2) over the course of multiple days students earned this opportunity

OUTDOOR PLAY during the hours of 10:00am-1pm is not allowed due to recess and 9:20-9:50 the play structures are used by the ABA team. This means PE and other activities cannot be on the field and play structures during this time. It is unsafe to have too many kids outside at the same time.

Special Education Progress Reports

We are upon our third round of Progress Reports. Grades close on June 14th and Progress Reports are due Tuesday, June 11th at 12pm. This will provide a window for our office and the clerk to review, print, copy, and have progress reports ready to be distributed with report cards the week of June 17th. We need enough time to submit translation requests and have them ready as well.
