Parents,

We are now 2 weeks into our Hybrid Learning Plan and things are going wonderfully.

Thank you to everyone that attended our virtual parent teacher conferences.  If for some reason you were unable to attend, the teacher will be in contact with you to discuss your child’s progress.

I want to give a huge thank you to those parents that are in communication with the office letting us know if your student is sick and the details of their absence.  It is very much appreciated.

Please continue to have your child check in on SeeSaw on their non face to face learning days.  We take attendance everyday!

Please make sure that when sending your child to school that the face mask that they wear is well fitted.  We have had some students wearing adult face masks or gaiters that constantly need to be raised.  This can be a distraction, and we are doing our best to give friendly reminders. 

Just a reminder that doors open for arrival at 8:10!

This year we will not be having classroom parties for Fall Festival.  We are hopeful to resume parties in the future.


Thank you,

Nicole Keorkunian, Principal
