We ask families to use their best judgment if travel conditions in their area remain unsafe. If you believe travel is unsafe for your child, please contact your school's office. We also ask for patience with our bus drivers and school staff as they navigate morning routes and arrival procedures with care and caution.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

Our schoolwide Beanstack Kick-off is today! Students will receive a handout with directions for accessing their Beanstack account.
What is Beanstack?
Beanstack is a web and mobile platform used by libraries and schools to run reading challenges, motivating readers of all ages to log books, earn virtual badges, and win prizes through gamification, while also providing organizers with data on reading habits. It allows for easy tracking of reading, manages multiple readers under one account, and fosters community reading culture through fun challenges and activities.
We want to encourage our students to read for pleasure and earn badges and prizes for completing our monthly challenges.
Ask your 4th or 5th grader about Beanstack this afternoon!
