A Message from  Principal Laurincik:
January...

Happy New Year!  I hope that 2020 is a year full of health, happiness, and peace for each of you. The new year gives us all a wonderful opportunity to reboot and set goals and to ensure that we are providing our students with a high-quality education that prepares them for college and career life. 

It is a commitment, a resolution, and it starts at home.  It is extremely important for your child to continue his/her learning at home to ensure that he/she reaches his/her full potential. I encourage you to make a resolution this new year to make sure that your child is achieving his/her best academically by making sure that homework gets done every night, assignments are turned in on time, and that your child is reading and practicing math skills on a regular basis.  Furthermore, make a resolution to help your child get to school every day…resolve to make attendance a priority in your child’s life!

As you know, attendance is a priority and we encourage good attendance by providing a variety of Attendance Incentives.  Some examples include: free out-of-uniform days, field trips, popcorn and a movie, snacks, raffles, game days, movie days, dance parties, etc.  Please help us in this effort by making sure your child comes to school every day.

The 2nd Quarter will end on Thursday, January 30th.  Please note that Friday, January 31st is a School Improvement Day; therefore there will be NO SCHOOL for students on this day.   Report Cards for the 2nd Quarter will be sent home on Friday, February 7th. Again, I must stress how very important it is that we are working as a team—a positive home-school connection is the best way to make sure all of our students are working and achieving to the best of their ability.

Our SEL theme of the month is Responsible Decision-Making.  In honor of students who earn the most SELebration tickets for the month, qualifying students will earn a Game Day Party.  The K-4th event will take place on January 29th and the 5th-8th will take place on January 30th. 

In closing, we are planning a school wide Celebration of Life service to remember our beloved teacher, Ms. Patton.  The service will take place on Friday, January 24th at 1:30 pm in the auditorium. All are welcome to attend.
​
Until next time…
