The Sunshine Scoop

Today we celebrate two very special occasions, the 100th day of school and Valentine’s Day! Our classrooms are filled with excitement as students reflect on how much they’ve learned and grown over the past 100 days. Coupled with the kindness and friendship we celebrate on Valentine’s Day, our school is truly full of joy. It’s a wonderful reminder of the strong, caring community we share together.

For the safety of all our students, any changes to student dismissal plans for the early release day must be made in advance. Please note that no changes to student dismissal plans will be accepted on the day of early release, February 18.
If you need to pick up your child early on that day, you may still do so up until 12:45 p.m. by following the usual procedure of coming to the main office and checking your student out.
Thank you for your cooperation and partnership in helping us ensure a safe and smooth dismissal for all students.
