Happy 33rd Week of Kindergarten! I apologize for the delayed email for this week, please be sure to read through for any changes or updates regarding kindergarten!
SAP Festival Donations! Thank you, to those families who have donated the Hominy and Las Palmas for the 2026 SAP Carnival. Previously, teachers were instructed to give a work habits grade for each family's donations -- however, donations should be voluntary and not determined as a grade. Student's grades will not be affected whether or not they made a donation to the school. I appreciate your donations and help towards our carnival this year and thank you for your ongoing support for our school! Donations will still be accepted until Friday. May 8th to prepare for our SAP Carnival.
