 Message from Principal Duncan~


What a wonderful first full week back with students for the 2022-2023 school year!  Our staff and I loved welcoming students back on campus and we hit the ground running.  This past week students got to know each other with their morning meetings in all classrooms, practiced our PBIS behavior expectations around campus, and got back into the swing of things.  This school year our staff and I are eager to continue to bring a high level of academic expectations for our students, but also provide an environment where all students feel loved, cared for, and celebrated.  We have much to celebrate from last year and we are looking forward to continuing with another great school year!  

Important Information~

Instruction Starts at 7:45am - Please remember that your students should be on campus and entering their classroom by 7:45am.  Instruction starts at 7:45am and if students arrive after 7:45am, they will be considered tardy to school and will need to stop in the office for a tardy slip.  Students may arrive at school between 7:35 am and 7:45am, with gates shutting at 7:45am.

Absences - It is very important that your child attend school daily and not have excessive absences. When a student has 3 or more unexcused absences they are considered Truant. Please review our attendance policy and ensure that if your child is going to be absent that you call our front office to let us know. Thank you!
