Good afternoon Shady Lane families,

Thank you to all of those who have or are currently serving our country in the armed forces. Many of our students wrote letters and cards to veterans this week. It is a great opportunity for students to learn about those serving our nation, and to show some appreciation. To all of those in our Shady Lane family that are currently serving, or have served, we appreciate you.

It's going to be a great week!

4K Literacy Night

This Wednesday, November 15th is our 4K literacy night from 5:30-6:30.

Students will be in their classrooms, reading a fun book and doing a fun project. See more info and find the RSVP to the right.

Adults will meet in the Shady Lane library after dropping students off in their rooms.

School Attendance

We are grateful for you! 

As we prepare to take a short break from school for Thanksgiving, we want to express our gratitude for everyone who makes it possible for as many students to come to school every day, on time, ready to learn. 

We thank our students and families for making daily attendance a priority since they know the habit of attendance will help them do well in the classroom and eventually in a job.

We also thank our wonderful school staff who pour their energy into making school an exciting place for exploration and knowledge so children do not want to miss out on learning!

We appreciate each one of you so much and we look forward to seeing you after the Thanksgiving holiday! Please keep in mind that school is closed on November 22, 2023 and will resume on Tuesday, November 28, 2023.
