Good afternoon PK - 5 Rocket families,
When students return to school tomorrow, we would like for all students in grades 2nd-5th to return their Chromebooks and chargers. They will not need to transport them to and from school at this time. We are excited to announce that our staff seem to be on the mend and we are happy to have everyone back. Having said that, if we should run into a rise in illnesses again we may have to reassess and push the Chromebooks back out. Thank you all for your patience at this very trying and uncertain time. Our main goal is to keep the building open and have class on campus but we just don't know what situation will present itself to us this year.
If your child is in quarantine they will continue distance learning as usual and return their Chromebooks when they return to school. If you should have any questions please call the school office. Have a great evening!
Thank you,
Mrs. Barnes

Cold Lunches and Microwave Usage
In an effort to keep student lunch boxes separated, all cold lunches will remain in the student’s classroom this year since there will be limited access to refrigerator space. Please, place some type of re-freezable ice block in your child’s lunch box this will keep their lunches cold until their lunch shift. One other important item to note is that if your child wants something hot in their lunch it will need to be heated at home and put in a thermos. The new cafeteria safety procedures won’t allow the time needed for the use of a microwave to warm up lunches. Thank you so much for your patience and consideration to all of the safety procedures.

Due to the new school hours, bus pick-up time will be 15 minutes earlier than last year!

Reminder: We have new school hours this year! School will be in session from 7:55-3:10 PM daily. Masks are recommended, but not mandatory. At this time, only students and staff are permitted in the building. Thank you so much for helping keep our school safe! Go Rockets!
