A Message from our Principals:

Principal, Paul Bierman
Associate Principal, Katie Mathews
Associate Principal, Matt Peetz
Thank you to all of you who attended Parent-Teacher conferences. Conferences are a wonderful opportunity discuss your child’s academic progress and to build a connection between your child’s classroom and home. We appreciate you taking the time out of your schedules to attend conferences.

Although there are a few stubborn snow piles still hanging around, signs of spring are finally here! Warmer temperatures mean more time outdoors, and I think we are all ready for that. With the longer days, it can be difficult to keep an early bedtime, but a good bedtime routine can make a big difference in student learning and behaviors at school. Most school-aged students need at least 10-11 hours of sleep a night. Lack of sleep can cause irritability and problems concentrating at school. Please remember to leave enough time to unwind before lights are out and limit screen time at bedtime.

As always, it is truly a joy to work with our students each and every day.
