Message from the Principal

Thank you to all who came to our first HSA, Equity Circle and School Advisory Council mash up meeting last week.  I received several comments from parents that they were glad they made the time to come hear what each group is doing to support our school and ways in which parents can get involved!  If you weren't able to attend, click here for slidedeck.  


Fall Clubs are kicking off!  Paper forms will also come home on Tuesday. Please do not complete a paper form if you sign up online.  Registration deadline is Friday, September 29 at 3pm.  Clubs with more than 15 students interested will have a lottery.


Please join me for our first Coffee With The Principal on Thursday, September 28 at 8:30am in the lunchroom.   This month we will highlight our social emotional learning programming both in classrooms and during the special class, along with an update on safety and last year's survey results. 


On Thursday, we will also have our first Pretzel Day!  Send in $2 on Thursday or prepay for the year by ordering online.


Friday is our first 12:09pm dismissal for all grades.  Please plan now for the early dismissal.  


Friday is also Dress Down Day.  Donate $1 or what you can to support earthquake victims in Morocco.  All other uniform guidelines apply.


Please save the date for our first Affinity Dinner on October 12. Invitations forthcoming.  


Fall Festival is back on October 25! Bring on the fun!  Discounted tickets are available.  Join us to bake and frost 400 cupcakes in the PAS kitchen on October 23-24. Donations from grocery store are needed.  Find out more here.

New Fundraising Idea: School Store

Help Launch a Pilot Program! Brainstorming meeting on September 29 at 8:30 AM.

The HSA would love to start up a school store and plans on getting a few dates scheduled in the fall to launch a pilot program. Many details need to be discussed, and we could use some new volunteers to get this program off the ground. Interested? Meet in the PAS Atrium on Friday, September 29 after drop off for a planning meeting. More details HERE.
