We would like to welcome two new teachers, Desiree Bengston and Mindy Wessel, who will be starting Spring Semester. Mrs. Bengston will be teaching a first-second grades combined class and Miss Wessel a third-fourth grades class.
Thank You for a successful Carnival!
Dress for Outside Recess Every Day!
Because outdoor recess is part of our school day, all students K-6 should wear/bring appropriate recess clothing to school. During the winter months, children must bring hats, gloves, boots and snow pants to wear outside and dry shoes to wear inside. This keeps the feet dry and our school cleaner.
We do not permit students to stay inside because they do not have gloves or hats, but use this slight negative reinforcement to help students to remember to be prepared the next day. As part of our lice prevention policy we will no longer keep/provide any winter clothing to students for use at recess.
Outdoor recess is only canceled in the event of below zero wind-chill, rain and/or muddy grounds. These judgments are made on a daily basis by school staff.
Children well enough to come to school should be well enough to go out for recess. Colds and flu are not a reason to remain inside during recess. Colds and flu are viruses spread by contact, not cold air. If a child has just come back from an injury, surgery or serious illness s/he may be excused from recess with a note from a doctor or parent.
The recess time is approximately 20 minutes. It is beneficial both physically and mentally for students to take part in the advantages that recess affords.
Yellow Flier
The yellow flier is sent home with your student weekly. It contains highlights of important activities and events happening at the elementary school. It is also available to view or download (PDF).
