Your child may have additional field trips planned with their classroom. You will receive information about those frome your child's teacher.
A reminder to everyone that if you wish to make a request regarding class placement for next year, please contact the office during the week of May 8 - 12. We try hard to work with families to respect reasonable requests, but can not make promises as the larger picture must always be considered, and last minute changes can factor into decision making.
The choice has been made and our new school mascot Husky has been christened Silver by the students. Thank you to all who contributed so many fun and interesting ideas!
Thank you to all the parents who are helping to keep our pick up and drop off times smooth and safe for all. Please do you best to arrive prior to 8:30 and drop off in the upper loop. Please do not stop in the middle of the street to let your child out of the car, and resist the urge to do a u-turn as students crossing Oakhill can appear out of nowhere. If everyone follows the guidelines, and exits the upper loop with a right turn, the traffic will flow smoothly.
As always, please contact the school if you have any questions or concerns.
Mrs. Jordan
