Principal's Message

Dear Parents,

These days leading up to the Christmas break are filled with exciting events in and out of school.  During this time, it is really important to maintain a consistent schedule at home.  The need for extra sleep, completion of homework and study for tests still exists so that students continue to work at their optimum. Thank you in advance for giving your children the support necessary during this time.

This week is quite busy as we prepare for the Christmas Pageant on Friday evening.  Please note that students need to have lunch from home on both Thursday and Friday this week to accommodate the need for afternoon practices. 

The Extended Day Program will close at 5PM on Friday so that the students in attendance can go home and have dinner before returning at 6:00PM.  Please make arrangements to pick your child/ren up before 5PM so that the teachers can also get dinner.  Thank you in advance for making this change to your day.  It is greatly appreciated.

The Book Fair is open from Monday through Wednesday this week. Most students had a chance to preview the fair on Friday and went home with their wish list. The fair will be open late on both Monday and Wednesday afternoon to accommodate parents.  Please send any book fair money in a marked envelope with your child's name and amount enclosed. 

Students in 1st through 8th grade are expected to participate in the school Christmas performance on Friday evening.  Students are to be dressed up in festive Christmas colors for the pageant.  Jeans, leggings and sneakers are not acceptable. Students return to school at 6PM for the 6:30 performance.

The benches in the church will be marked with family names to reserve seats for 3 people in each family.  If you have many relatives attending, they must sit behind the reserved family seats. This is the only way that we can accommodate everyone who wishes to attend.

I look forward to seeing many of you throughout the week at the Book Fair, picking up after Cookies with Santa and at our school performance on Friday evening.  I can assure you that you will walk away from the students' performance with the gift Christmas joy!
