Interested in becoming a Home Room Parent?

We are looking for Homeroom Parents for the 2022-2023 school year. Being a homeroom parent is a great way to spread cheer and spend time with your child. There is no cost to being a homeroom mom, and you won't be doing it alone. Please reach out to our Homeroom Parent Coordinator, Angela Huizar, if you are interested amvhuizar@gmail.com. 
Innovation Lab Update

We are ready to begin building our Innovation Lab, new Atrium, Lego Lab, and Library upgrade! For this reason, access to our Library, STEM Lab, and Atrium will be suspended for the remainder of the year. We are hoping the spaces are all ready for the beginning of the new school year! Thanks again to our generous parents who have made this project possible.
We need your Library Books!!

The Library closed on Friday for book checkouts but students can still return their books.  We are hoping to get all of the books back so we can begin packing them up! Thank you so much for your help!
Registration for PS-4th Summer School has closed.
This year in grades 3-8 we will return to a mandatory summer reading and math requirement. After reviewing classroom and STAR data, we believe this summer work will help to mitigate "summer slide" and learning loss due to COVID. Grade-level teachers will be reaching out after Spring Break to share the summer assignment. We are committed to making sure all summer work is purposeful and intentional for individual students. We also understand that families are busy traveling in the summer so all work is portable and can be done from anywhere. If you would like your child's work to be completed during June, consider registering them for summer school. Our SFX teachers will provide time during summer school classes for students to complete their summer work. Click here for Summer School information. If you have any questions regarding this requirement please reach out to Mandi Jemsek.  
Do you want your school supplies delivered to your student's classroom on the 1st Day of School?
Our online store is now open for 1st Day School Supplies. Click the link below to order. All you have to do is click on your child's grade (for next year) and place your order. The supplies will be delivered to your child's classroom on the first day.
