Help your student feel prepared and ready to do their best by:

• Getting a good night’s sleep
• Eating a nutritious breakfast
• Arriving at school on time
• Bringing a fully charged device, if needed
• Taking their time and reading each question carefully
• Staying positive and giving their best effort

Please remind your student that testing is simply an opportunity to show what they know and how much they have grown. We are proud of our Giants and know they will do a GIANT job!

The first week of school is officially complete! 🎉

Backpacks survived, routines are taking shape, and everyone remembered their lunch money…right?

Please take a quick peek at your student’s lunch account and add funds if needed. Money can be added through EZSchool or dropped off at the school office by cash or check.

Let’s keep our Giants fueled and ready for week two!

Keeping our kids safe online starts with giving families the right tools and information.

Parents, guardians, teachers, and grandparents are invited to a FREE virtual presentation featuring Detective Richard Wistocki, a nationally recognized cybercrimes expert. He will share practical strategies for navigating cyberbullying, social media, online gaming, privacy settings, digital footprints, device monitoring, and more.
