News around the school

Parents,

I want to try to keep all of you informed on some of the regular happenings at school. Both Cottage and Online students are welcome to take advantage of school events. I have recently realized that some notices going home to cottage kids don’t make it to online families, and some school info. comes upon me suddenly where I don’t have time to tell everyone in time.

Online students or Cottage students not in school that day, may contact me or show up at my classroom where I can help direct you to the event, but please, feel Welcome! But here are some updates:
