This week, we celebrated Fire Prevention Week at our school! Our students had an amazing time during the fire prevention assembly, where they learned about the importance of fire safety. The local firefighters brought their fire truck, and the kids were so excited to see it up close! They also practiced important safety steps like "Stop, Drop, and Roll" in case of a fire. It was a fun and educational experience for everyone. Thank you to our local fire department for keeping us safe and helping our students learn how to be prepared!

Dear Parents,
We were thrilled to welcome our students back to school and see their bright smiles and enthusiasm on the first day! It was an exciting start to the year, with a remarkable 98% attendance rate, reflecting the strong commitment of our school community. Your support made this day truly special, and we’re grateful for your partnership in making it a success. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

It's hard to believe, but school starts next week! We're so excited to welcome all our students back to campus. As we gear up for the new school year, here are a few important reminders for the first few days:
* August 12-14 are minimum days.
* Back to School Night is on August 14.
* Parents are welcome to walk their children to class for the first couple of days.
* Students can arrive as early as 7:15 AM to enjoy breakfast before school begins.
* Parents needing transportation assistance must complete a ridership application before their child can ride the bus.
* Students must be registered and accepted into the Expanded Learning Program to participate in after-school activities.
* Please plan ahead for the first several weeks, as roads and parking lots tend to be more congested.
If you have any questions, please contact our office at 209-874-2371.

Our school and district offices are closed today and tomorrow for staff professional development as we gear up for the new school year. Please leave us a phone message or email, and we'll assist you as soon as we return.
