News from the Principal

We hope this message finds you enjoying this burst of spring-like weather on a long weekend. It is almost hard to recall
the ice and snow that kept us out of school on Thursday. When we return to school on Tuesday, we will resume our
regular day type rotation making our day of return a B day. This week we will be hosting Parent/Teacher conferences. Conference registration was open last week and all conferences are being held by appointment only. If you missed the conference sign-ups, you may email teachers directly to see if they have openings remaining in their schedules.

In addition to conferences, we will also host the Scholastic Book Fair. The fair will be set up in the school library where students and parents can browse the shelves and purchase available books during the In-Person Parent/Teacher conference on Tuesday, February 22nd. Families can also shop at the virtual book fair if you prefer to order online.Get all the book fair details here. Take a look here for a sneak peak of available books! Proceeds from this sale will be used to earn new books for the school library. The fair will take cash, checks, credit cards or parents can set up eWallet,which you can learn more about here. Due to the coin shortage, parents are encouraged to use check, credit card or eWallet when making purchases. We hope to see you at the fair!

With much gratitude,

Karen Hedrick, Ed.D.
