Principal's Message.

Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.  ~Edward Everett

Things have been much safer this year. The one way parking lot has been a real benefit to our students’ safety. Thank you for helping with that. We have also been painting parking stalls just for you. We have already painted three spaces that are dedicated to 20 minute parking. Please use these stalls when you need to quickly run into the office or your child’s classroom. We will soon be reserving additional spaces for you that will be painted with volunteer parking. We hope that these two resources will assist you as you come in to the school.

A brief message about safety and it focuses on  870 West (the street directly to the east of the school). We have had many students crossing the street in the middle of the road. This is a violation of the state law commonly referred to as jaywalking. I know there is limited parking and last year we were able to park on the east side of this road. However, the city has determined that there will be no parking along 870 West. This was a decision made by the city to help keep your children safe..

We are excited that our extended kindergarten will be underway soon and we are grateful for the Title I funds that make it possible. Title I funds are based on the percentage of students who qualify for free/reduced lunch. If you have not filled out a free/reduced lunch form and feel you may qualify please come by the office and fill out a form. In addition to providing your children with free or reduced lunch the school benefits by staying in a Title I school.

During SEP’s we will have a hair studio in the MP (lunch) room. The hair cuts will be free to students.

Sincerely,

Mr. Travis Wilstead
