A Note from Mrs. Ouellette

THANK YOU!   We have had a busy and fun Fall. Our fundraiser was a great success, and I want to thank all of our families for the support. The atmosphere with the friendly competition and students collecting their charms created such good fun on some dreary October days. On behalf of the PTO, the staff and myself all of the efforts are appreciated. Additionally, thank you for your candy donations for the Fall Festival/Trunk or Treat. 

Fall Festival/Trunk or Treat was so amazing. Thank you to our PTO for organizing this event and to the teachers and others that decorated their cars and passed out candy! So many people attended and it had a great community atmosphere. 

On Friday, October 31 we will have a Halloween Parade at 1:30. All of our students will participate and will walk through door #7 (parent drop off) and walk the drop off circle and the area in front of the school. Parents can line the sidewalk from Door 7 all the way across the front of the school to see the parade. Please do not park in the Parent drop off/pick up circle during the Halloween Parade.  

Conferences are November 3 and 6, 2025. See the link below to register for conferences.

parent pick up reminders

In order to have a safe and orderly pick up at the end of the day we are asking for your help with the following: 

• Parents that are coming to meet students who walk home please stay by the bike rack area.
• If you are a parent parking in the parking lot and want to walk up to get your student, please have your card with the last name on it and stand by the black gate. When the sidewalk gets full it is difficult for our Parapros to get students to their cars. 
• PLEASE have your student name card when you pick up. This allows us to assure that students are with a safe person.  If you need a new card, please call the front office and we will send it home with your student. 
• Students cannot walk to the front of the building as we do not have para support there.
• If you are using the parent pick up loop, please stay in your vehicle and the para will bring your child to your car and help them in or out if necessary. 
• Pull all the way forward if space opens up and they will bring your child to your car.
• Thank you for your cooperation and help! :)
