Week of April 27 – May 1
Hello All-Star Families,
We are officially in the final stretch of the school year, and we are excited to finish strong together as One Team, One Mission! 🚀⭐
There are only four Mondays remaining, and the next several weeks will move quickly. Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping students focused, engaged, and ready to finish the year strong.
📚 Attendance Matters More Than Ever
As we close out the year, daily attendance is critical for all students as they complete End-of-Year (EOY) learning and final assessments.
These moments help measure student growth and ensure readiness for the next grade level.
👉 Please ensure your child:
Arrives on time each day
Is present unless they are sick or have a serious reason for absence
Every instructional day counts, and consistent attendance builds confidence and success.
💌 Staff Appreciation Reminder
Reminder: All breakfast items for Teacher Appreciation Week are due by April 29th.
Thank you for supporting our staff and helping us celebrate them during Teacher Appreciation Week. We truly appreciate your generosity!
🚨 Safety Reminders: Arrival & Dismissal
To ensure student safety, please review the following:
Students should not be dropped off before 7:45 AM (no supervision available)
Doors open and staff supervision begins at 7:45 AM
Please keep the drive-thru lane moving at all times
If parking, park behind the crosswalk to allow buses and daycare vans safe access
Your cooperation helps us maintain a safe and efficient environment for all students.

💡 Character Strong Focus: Creativity
This month, we are focusing on Creativity—thinking in new ways, solving problems, and expressing ideas with confidence.
Families can support this at home by:
Encouraging curiosity and imagination
Asking open-ended questions
Allowing students to explore and create
Creativity helps students grow into flexible, confident thinkers.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we will ensure our All-Stars finish the year strong and successful!
