Dear Wildcat Families, 

Thank you for the great year!   It was action packed with loads of learning and some fun adventures along the way with our Family Learning events, field trips, competitions and celebrations.  The last day of school is always filled with a strong sense of pride for our 6th graders  moving on, coupled with some sadness because we will miss them terribly!   They left their mark by impressing us with their growth and being terrific leaders.  

This summer it is important to rest and have some family fun!  Get out in the sunshine, run around in the grass barefoot, and visit your favorite swimming hole.  Find great books to read together under the shade of your favorite tree or just snuggle in for a bedtime story.   If you find yourself going on a family vacation, take a moment to learn about the place before you get there.  Put the kids in charge of calculating the mileage and how much fuel will cost  or play road games like “20 questions”, “I Spy”, look for as many different license plates as you can,  and especially for new readers - read the road signs.  If you want to have some laughs, don’t forget the “Mad Libs”.  

We look forward to seeing a few of you at our Half-way through Summer Learning Splash Party.  If your child/ren signed up for Summer Learning the “Half-way Summer Splash Party is July 25, 2024.   If you have not completed your child/ren's registration the links are below or you can go to the District Website (click here). 

To help you plan ahead, here are a few important dates for the fall: 

• August 28th @ 4:30 to 6pm: Open House 

• September 3rd: First Day for Grades 1-6

• NEW: September 3rd and 4th: Kindergarten Screenings (to be scheduled by our Kindergarten teacher later this summer)

• September 5th: First full day for Kindergarteners

Take care and have a fantastic Summer.  

Sherri Hatley, Principal

School Meal Program 

It is very important for our families to fill out a free/reduced meal form either online or via a paper form that will be sent home the first day of school.  This program could possibly help offset your cost for eating meals at school, and also help provide funding to our school for important programs such as reading and math support.
